    Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth attended Weber Middle School’s Activism and Protest; Courage and Song Day on Oct. 25.

    The event provided students with an interactive way of learning about the Civil Rights movement. As part of their activities, students were able to move around to different stations.
