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.
