Learn about the symbol that became an act of resistance and a sign of the hope for victory that has endured long after the Second World War. Participants will receive a wartime-inspired "V for Victory" pin at the end of the program. While supplies last. For more information, please contact the branch at 305-535-4219 or capleyb@mdpls.org.
