Brown @ 70
When Brown v. Board of Education was decided in 1954, making school segregation illegal across the United States, it changed everything—and nothing. Communities everywhere became battlegrounds for testing the limits of the decision, in the courts and on the streets.
Seventy years later, we’re still grappling with its legacy. Join Ohio Humanities on Thursday, May 9, 2024, from 6:00 - 8:00 pm at Columbus' historic Lincoln Theatre to explore the decision’s legacy and honor Ohio leaders in the civil rights movement. The event will feature a screening of The Lincoln School Story, panel discussion, and performances from the Grammy-nominated Central State University Chorus.
