"Still Standing: The Relics of School Segregation in Montgomery County"

History Conversations Rewind
“Still Standing: The Relics of School Segregation in Montgomery County”
with Ralph Buglass
Available the week of September 7 through History Conversations Rewind
Premieres Monday, September 7 @ 9:00 a.m.

Education, denied to the enslaved, was one of the highest priorities of emancipated African Americans. But in Montgomery County, public education was not extended to black children until a decade after it was instituted for white children. Even then, the practice of “separate but equal” schools was anything but equal, and no black high school was built until well into the 20th century. Join Ralph Buglass for a virtual tour of the historic school buildings–a surprising number of which still exist–that tell this story.

Note that this week, the History Conversation will not be livestreamed so there is no registration link. The recorded video will premiere on our website at https://montgomeryhistory.org/mhconnected/watch/ at 9:00 a.m. Monday morning, and be available to watch through the end of the week. Don’t miss out!
