70th Anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education
May 30 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Event Navigation
Dayton Metro Library begins its 2024 Social Justice Speaker Series (SJSS) season with a tribute to history in 70th Anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, scheduled for Thursday, May 30, in the Main Library’s Eichelberger Forum from 6-7:30 pm. In the early 1950’s, Reverend Oliver L. Brown, along with a team of attorneys for the NAACP and 12 other parents, filed a suit on behalf of their children against the local board of education for segregating public schools. Their case was joined with other cases from several states on appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, and in 1954, it became known as the landmark decision of Brown v. the Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. Rev. Brown passed away in 1961 before knowing the impact this case would have on the nation. On Thursday, May 30, Cheryl Brown Henderson, daughter to the late Rev. Brown, will join DML in sharing her reflections and memories about this significant time in American History and discuss how the historic decision impacts us as a nation today. Comprised of award-winning speakers providing insights from their professional fields and personal journeys, the SJSS addresses some of the most critical social justice issues of today. This event is co-sponsored by Friends of the Dayton Metro Library and the Charles F. Kettering Foundation. It is intended for an adult and teen audience. Registration is not required. Additional information about the Social Justice Speaker Series and upcoming guests can be found at DaytonMetroLibrary.org/SocialJustice.
