Members of the Garden Spot Village Racial Literacy Team and Lighter Side Players will join with members of the New Holland Area Historical Society for a presentation on the Welsh Mountains.

Now, members of that group, in cooperation with the New Holland Area Historical Society (NHAHS) and GSV ’s Lighter Side Players, have developed a program that incorporates Welsh Mountain history in a look back at prevailing attitudes toward race in the past and now.
