Black History Month series highlights Adkin High School walkout
The Community Council for the Arts will host a Black History Month program centered on the Adkin High School Walkout, a pivotal local civil rights action that predated the March on Washington and school desegregation.
The free event will be held Friday, Feb. 7, from 2 to 4 p.m. and will include a lecture and screening of the award-winning documentary Little Red Pocketbook by Holly J. Holder.
Attendees will hear from alumni who participated in the Adkin High School walkout and view artwork by Jamil Burton and Maner Nobles. The program also features a performance by Marcus Jones.
Educational resources for teachers and activities for children will be available. The event is open to the public and all are welcome.
