About the event

(Lunch and Learn) The Women of Brown
Twelve Black women were at the forefront of the civil rights movement as plaintiffs in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case. Unfortunately, their contributions to the civil rights movement have often been overlooked, yet they are essential to the story of the Brown decision and its impact on American society. This presentation will shine a light on their stories and ensure that their names are not forgotten.

Presenter Donna Rae Pearson is a Curator at Kansas Museum of History.

Our program is brought to us by Humanities Kansas.

The Lunch and Learn is free to attend, though pre-purchased sandwich wrap lunches are available for $12 each and must be ordered by Thursday, Oct 2. Lunches can be purchased online at gordonparkscenter.org/events, by phone, or by mail. Attendees are also welcome to bring their own lunch and join us. Complimentary desserts and drinks will be provided.

In the FSCC Ellis Fine Arts Center. FREE to attend (except for lunch).
