Description: A legacy in the civil rights movement will speak as part of Emporia State University's Bonner and Bonner Diversity Lecture Series. Minnijean Brown Trickey's speech is open to the public.
Here's a little bit about the speaker:
Minnijean Brown Trickey was only sixteen years old when she became involved in one of the most pivotal acts of the American Civil Rights Movement of the 20th century. As one of The Little Rock Nine, she along with eight other Black American teenagers, defied death threats, hostile white demonstrators, and even the Arkansas National Guard, to attend the all-white Little Rock Central High in 1957. Rising above the adversity, she took a courageous step that not only changed her life and education, but the lives and educations of African Americans around the country. Source: Emporia.edu/Bonner
