Join us in Cincinnati for a screening and panel discussion of The Lincoln School Story.
The Lincoln School Story is a new documentary film which tells the inspiring story of a group of courageous African American mothers and children and their fight for school integration in 1954 in the town of Hillsboro, Ohio. Their lawsuit against the school board was one of the first test cases of the historic Brown v. Board of Education decision. Despite segregationist redistricting, cross burnings, job losses and legal threats, they marched for two years in one of the longest sustained civil rights marches in American history.
The Lincoln School Story is the first documentary to feature these women and highlight their role in the early civil rights movement. The program weaves personal interviews with rare archival photos and film.
The screening will be on Sunday, February 25th at 1 pm at the Esquire Theater.
