The San José Public Library, in partnership with the African American Community Service Agency (AACSA), has released a special-edition library card honoring civil rights pioneer Inez Jackson. - The card features a mural by artist Ian Young of Quiet Giant Design, created in collaboration with Local Color.
- Inez Jackson was San José's first Black postal clerk, a leader in the NAACP and YWCA, and founder of AACSA. - The commemorative card will be available at the AACSA's 45th Annual Juneteenth in the Streets Festival on June 17 and at SJPL's Bridge Library.
This initiative celebrates Jackson's lifelong dedication to expanding opportunity and advancing equity in the community.
