William F. Laman Public Library

The Loft - Teen Center

We're learning about the history of free speech, protests, and making our own buttons with the Mosaic Templars!

You have something worth saying - so say it!

Buttons have been used for decades to express political opinions and were especially popular during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s. In this program, students will use their artistic ability to design and create their own wearable buttons to speak up and speak out.

Guests from the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center join us in the Loft to discuss the history of protest buttons, and give us a hand making our own.
