Friday Film Nights at the American Library

This time a 1989 American drama about tensions between minorities was shown. The movie does not tell its audience that black people are better then others nor does it says that HIspanics are, or white, or Asian. It just gives us a raw look what happens when we let racial quarrels get out of hand.

Heather Fabrikant introduced the film and lead an after film discussion.

We also hosted Starr Terrell Fulbright Scholar from University of Illinoise, Urbana Champaign, IL. He shared his personal experience as Afro-American in Ukraine. Discussion lasted an hour and a half. Everyone wanted to ask a question or share his opinion.

Novermer is Mark Twain month at the American Library.

The year 2010 marks the 175th anniversary of his birth, the 125th anniversary of his great work "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn " and 100th anniversary of his death.

We will observ it with book displays, films showings and classes for kids.
