Upcoming Zoom Event at BPL- The Sarah E. Ray Project - Detroit's Other Rosa Parks
by Mick Howey 09 Mar '22

09 Mar '22

Hello Michlib-l, Please join us at 7:00 PM on Monday, March 14, 2022 for The Sarah E. Ray Project - Detroit’s Other Rosa Parks event. Find the event description below: Seventy-five years ago a 24-year-old, African American secretary Sarah Ray was denied a seat on the segregated Boblo boat, SS Columbia. Like Rosa Parks, she refused to back down, taking her fight for integration all the way to the United States Supreme Court. Represented by fabled NAACP lawyer Thurgood Marshall, Ray won her case. Scholars argue that she paved the way for the seminal 1954 Brown v. Board of Education, which found that separate was inherently unequal. Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist and community activist Desiree Cooper and ‘Hometown Talent’ award winner filmmaker Aaron Schillinger as they present The Sarah E. Ray Project. This is a virtual event. Registration is required to receive the Zoom link. Tap https://tinyurl.com/ynwzx7ed <https://tinyurl.com/ynwzx7ed>to register. The Zoom link will be emailed the day of the event. Hope to see you there! Mick Howey, MLIS Adult Services Librarian Baldwin Public Library 300 West Merrill Street Birmingham, MI 48009 (248) 554-4649
