SUMMARY:Lincoln School Screening at the Athena Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Ohio Humanities’ documentary\, the Lincoln School Story will be screening at the Athena Cinema! \n\n\n\nIn partnership with the Mount Zion Black Cultural Center\, WOUB Public Media is screening the new documentary called THE LINCOLN SCHOOL STORY as part of the kick-off event for Berry Day Week in Athens on May 20 at 5:30 p.m. at the Athena. The production\, created by Ohio Humanities and distributed by WOSU Public Media in Columbus\, follows a group of Black mothers in Southwest Ohio as they heroically fight for school desegregation. \n\n\n\n“There couldn’t be a more perfect film for the opening celebration honoring the Berrys\,” said Mount Zion President Ada-Woodson Adams.  Edward “Ed” and Martha “Mattie” Berry were the owners of the once world-famous Berry Hotel on Court Street. May 23\, the day in 2004 when a historical landmark was installed at the former site of the hotel\, is now known as Berry Day in Athens and the Mount Zion Preservation Society celebrates the Berrys all week. \n\n\n\n“Showing this film at the same time we are honoring the story of the Berrys and African American people in Appalachia and Athens County makes perfect sense\,” said David Descutner\, an Athens resident who serves on the Ohio Humanities Board and was a financial supporter of the project. \n\n\n\nIf you want to read more about this story\, visit our Lincoln School Story page. \n\n\n\nIf you’re curious about other Ohio stories\, check out our grant page.

SUMMARY:Lincoln School Documentary Airs on WOSU TV
DESCRIPTION:Ohio Humanities’ documentary film The Lincoln School Story airs on WOSU TV in Columbus! \n\n\n\nThe Lincoln School Story examines the little-known fight for school desegregation led by a handful of Ohio mothers and their children in 1954. In the wake of Brown v. Board of Education\, school districts nationwide were mandated to integrate. But when African American mothers in Hillsboro\, Ohio\, tried to enroll their children in the local\, historically white schools\, the school board refused to comply. Five mothers and their children took the school board to court. With Constance Baker Motley as the lead lawyer and help from a fledgling NAACP chapter\, they started one of the nation’s first civil rights marches to end school segregation. While the lawsuit wound through the courts\, the mothers and children marched every day\, in spite of threats\, cross burnings and job losses. They marched in sun\, rain and snow for nearly two years until the mothers won their court case. Their children became the first Black students to attend a high-quality local elementary school. Their judicial victory in the Midwest inspired Black parents in communities across the country. \n\n\n\nIf you want to read more about this story\, visit our Lincoln School Story page. \n\n\n\nIf you’re curious about other Ohio stories\, check out our grant page.

SUMMARY:Florida Humanities: Separate Is Not Equal: St. Petersburg Community Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Throughout April\, the Florida Press Educational Services will host community conversations across the state to discuss the lasting impact of Brown v. Board of Education. These programs are funded with a Florida Humanities Strategic Partnership Grant. \n\n\n\nFlorida Press Educational Services\, the Tampa Bay Times Newspaper in Education program\, Community Tampa Bay\, and Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg present a community discussion on the history and continuing impact of Brown v. Board of Education in the Sunshine State. \n\n\n\nBrown v. Board of Education was one of the most pivotal court cases ever decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. On May 17\, 1954\, Chief Justice Earl Warren delivered the unanimous decision of the Court\, stating that\, “We conclude that in the field of public education the doctrine of separate but equal has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.” This landmark decision began the long battle toward school integration in Florida and nationwide. \n\n\n\nDoors open at 5:30 pm\, followed by a panel discussion and Q&A. Featured panelists will include Dr. Raymond Arsenault\, John Hope Franklin Professor of Southern History\, University of South Florida\, St. Petersburg; Fred Hearns\, Curator of Black History\, Tampa Bay History Center; and Chloe Coney\, CEO of Community Enterprise Group\, LLC. \n\n\n\nThere is no charge to attend this event\, but registration is required. Please register here. \n\n\n\nIn addition to our own Brown @ 70 program\, Ohio Humanities is excited to share events from our partners and other state humanities councils to celebrate this landmark decision!

SUMMARY:Laura Meckler in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Ohio Humanities and WOSU are co-sponsoring a special virtual program with reporter and author Laura Meckler on Thursday\, March 7th\, 2024. Laura will be in conversation about her new book\, Dream Town: Shaker Heights and the Quest for Racial Equity with Dr. Marilyn Mobley\, emerita professor of English and Africana Studies at Case Western Reserve University and former teacher at Shaker Heights High School. Debbie Holmes\, “All Things Considered” host\, will moderate.  \n\n\n\nDream Town: Shaker Heights and the Quest for Racial Equity: In this searing and intimate examination of the ideals and realities of racial integration\, award-winning Washington Post journalist Laura Meckler tells the story of a decades-long pursuit in Shaker Heights\, Ohio\, and uncovers the roadblocks that have threatened progress time and again—in housing\, in education\, and in the promise of shared community. \n\n\n\nIn the late 1950s\, Shaker Heights began groundbreaking work that would make it a national model for housing integration. And beginning in the seventies\, it was known as a crown jewel in the national move to racially integrate schools. The school district built a reputation for academic excellence and diversity\, serving as a model for how white and Black Americans can thrive together. Meckler—herself a product of Shaker Heights—takes a deeper look into the place that shaped her\, investigating its complicated history and its ongoing challenges in order to untangle myth from truth. She confronts an enduring\, and troubling\, question—if Shaker Heights has worked so hard at racial equity\, why does a racial academic achievement gap persist? \n\n\n\nIn telling the stories of the Shakerites who have built and lived in this community\, Meckler asks: What will it take to fulfill the promise of racial integration in America? What compromises are people of all races willing to make? What does success look like\, and has Shaker achieved it? The result is a complex and masterfully reported portrait of a place that\, while never perfect\, has achieved more than most and a road map for communities that seek to do the same. \n\n\n\nPlease register for the event here.
