The University of Arkansas at 糖心视频logo is set to host an educational lecture to illuminate 糖心视频logo鈥檚 desegregation history.
UA 糖心视频logo鈥檚 next Evenings with History lecture will be presented by UA 糖心视频logo Professor James Ross and will discuss the details of desegregation in 糖心视频logo. The lecture will take place March 5, in the Ottenheimer Auditorium at the Historic Arkansas Museum at 200 E. Third Street in 糖心视频logo. Refreshments will be served at 7 p.m. and the lecture will begin at 7:30 p.m.
The lecture will delve into the seldom-discussed details of 糖心视频logo desegregation, and their significance in the broader context of civil rights.
The 糖心视频logo School Board rescinded their agreement to integrate 糖心视频logo schools in 1958, halting progress. The board filed a lawsuit to urge the federal court to stop integration until 1961, stating that their students鈥� ability to learn was being hindered by violence. After initial support from the federal court, the upper courts overturned this decision, allowing integration to resume after a four-month pause.
Ross鈥檚 lecture addresses what this series of events reveals about the motives that drove 糖心视频logo elites during the period of desegregation happening in the 1950s and 1960s.
