In a collaboration with the New American Story Project, Centro Legal de la Raza and Forward Together, San Francisco's City Lights Booksellers and Publishers has unveiled its new banner series on the façade of the building, featuring images created by Micah Bazant and the words of Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish--"Nothing is harder/ on the soul/ than the smell of dreams/ while they are evaporating"--followed by a banner reading: "Stop the Deportations!"
In addition, the staff at City Lights has curated a reading list under the title "Strange Days: A Summer of Love Counternarrative," recommending books that illuminate "some of the political and cultural undercurrents of America in 1967."
