I, Too, Have a Voice

Please join us for a community program on May 23 commemorating the 72nd anniversary and enduring legacy of the Brown v. Board of Education decisions, and reflecting on the ongoing pursuit of educational equity.

The program will begins at 10 am with a gathering and commemorative march retracing Rowena Johnson Saunders’ walk from 17th and Western Street to Monroe School.

The formal program, starting at 11 am, will include a one-hour discussion with Mrs. Saunders, followed by lunch and a 45-minute oral history film featuring local perspectives on the history and impact of school desegregation.

All are welcome to attend and participate in this opportunity to reflect, engage with community voices, and honor the continued significance of this history.
