On Friday, August 14, 7:00 pm at the Marion Music Hall, the Elizabeth Taber Library is hosting an author talk with Lawrence DiCara, former Boston City Council President and part-time Marion resident. Mr. DiCara will be signing and discussing his book, Turmoil and Transition in Boston: a Political Memoir from the Busing Era. Copies of the book will be available for purchase (cash or check only, please).
Mr. DiCara’s book, Turmoil and Transition in Boston, offers insights into his personal and political story as the youngest person ever elected to the Boston City Council. Mr. DiCara’s story is intimately woven into the fate of his hometown of Boston. Then a federal court order mandating busing to achieve racial integration in the public schools ripped apart the city and changed the course of history.
