Documentaries After Dark tomorrow night!

Drop by the library tomorrow for an evening of epic historical battles! We will explore the Crusades, military expeditions undertaken by Western European Christians between 1095 and 1270, usually at behest of papacy, to recover Jerusalem and other Palestinian places of pilgrimage from Muslim control. The name (from Lat., “cross,” the emblem of the Crusaders) was also applied, especially in the 13th century, to wars against pagan peoples, Christian heretics, and political foes of the papacy. The film begins promptly at 6:30pm and lasts approximately 70 minutes.

Light refreshments served! For more information, contact Holley at 205/445-1117 or hwesley@bham.lib.al.us!
