This event will educate attendees about the legal and historical significance of the Lincoln School Marchers of Hillsboro, Ohio. Gain valuable insights into the profound impact their protest had on education in the immediate aftermath of Brown v. Board of Education, which was decided 70 years ago this May.
Embedded in this event will be a screening of “The Lincoln School Story,” a compelling short documentary produced by Ohio Humanities, where a group of African American mothers in Hillsboro, Ohio, tried to enroll their children in the local white schools. When the school board refused, they took their case to the streets and the courts. Following the screening, a distinguished panel of community and legal experts will engage in a thought-provoking discussion on both the historic and contemporary implications of Brown v. Board of Education. Don't miss this enriching experience that combines legal discourse with the art of storytelling to illuminate the past and its relevance to the present. |
