The System: Intro to the Movement
Most of us were never taught how power actually works—or how ordinary people can use it to create change. In this interactive workshop, you'll uncover how local, state, and federal government shape your everyday life through the lens of the Civil Rights Movement. Through real-world examples, group activities, and practical exercises, you'll learn how today's most effective advocates identify who holds power, influence decision-makers, and turn frustration into action. Whether you care about housing, education, voting, or your community's future, you'll leave with the knowledge, strategy, and confidence to make your voice count.
Event will take place in the West Las Vegas Library Conference Room.
Presented by NAACP Las Vegas Branch President, Quentin Savwoir

The West Las Vegas Library opened originally as a storefront on “D” Street in 1973, and later growing to a 16,000+ square-foot, stand-alone branch on West Lake Mead Boulevard in 1989, the new location on North Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard reflects another important milestone in the Library District’s service to this neighborhood. Spanning two stories at 41,000+ square feet, the library’s spectacular new home is more than double the size of its predecessor. In addition to offering an Event Center, 3D Printing Lab, the Historical African American Collection, and Digital Memories Preservation Lab, this 41,000-square-foot library houses an all-new collection of 60,000 volumes.
