MLK Holiday performance of Mike Wiley’s one man show
Brown v. Board of Education
Saturday, January 16th
2:00 pm
Free and Open to the public
In 1952, the Supreme Court heard a number of school-segregation cases, including Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. It decided unanimously in 1954 that segregation was unconstitutional; overthrowing the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson ruling that had set the “separate but equal” precedent. Whether in the classroom, a black history celebration, or as part of a civil rights forum, this entertaining and explaining tour de force encapsulates the high impact ruling for desegregating schools. This presentation is free and open to the public and groups are welcome. For more information call (919) 683-1709 ext. 21.
