a light that continues to shine
A courageous civil rights leader, entrepreneur, business partner, health professional, educator and youth advocate. Mrs. Alice Thomas loved and served her community her entire life, even when it did not love and serve her in return. Her unwavering faith, belief in the power of a community when it comes together, her compassion and hope, her "light" will shine on the path for all of us, always.
As part of our 103rd celebration copies of her book " “Surviving Racism: a Memoir of Life, Love and Faith – The Charles and Alice Thomas Story,” were donated to the Chester County Library and the Chester County History Center.
Navigating Intersectionality
Bayard Rustin, March 17, 1912 – August 24, 1987
A West Chester native son, Bayard Rustin was the chief organizer of the 1963 March on Washington and an openly gay Civil Rights activist. Bayard Rustin was nearly written out of the history books. While incarcerated and targeted for his sexuality, Rustin puts his faith in nonviolent resistance to the test, illuminating what it means to be branded a "troublemaker" within a system stacked against you.
