The Library of Virginia is pleased to announce that Pippa Holloway will be with us to discuss and sign _Sexuality, Politics, and Social Control in Virginia, 1920– 1945_, at noon on Thursday, June 28, 2007. Her book explores how the white elite who dominated politics in the first half of the 20th century sought to increase state control over African Americans and lower-class whites, whom they saw as oversexed and lacking sexual self-restraint. In order to reaffirm the existing political and social order, these politicians legalized eugenic sterilization, increased state efforts to control venereal disease and prostitution, cracked down on interracial marriage, and enacted statewide movie censorship. The Library is located at 800 East Broad Street in downtown Richmond and free parking is available under the building. We hope to see you here, Katie Gillespie Upcoming events: Wednesday, July 11, 2007, 5:30 PM - Bob Carlin: Birth of the Banjo FREE EVENT. Reservations required. Call 804-692-3900.
