Аннотация

A public library — accessible to all, irrespective of economic and social backgrounds — is an especially poignant symbol of a city that values social justice. Angelou’s memory of racial discrimination in a segregated library in the American South could be mitigated by the robust publicness of the New York City library. She could walk right up the steps of this library and feel that she could enter without having to pass exclusionary barriers. The assurance that you can access opportunity without facing social and economic hurdles is a monumentally empowering condition. When that feeling is pervasive among a city’s people of all ethnicities, ages, economic and social classes, genders, and physical abilities, then that city is fair, and practices social justice as its moral foundation.
