In 1954, the Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education held that racial segregation in educational and other facilities violated the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Yet, school integration did not immediately follow and was actively resisted, often by violence from every day citizens, communities and local and state governments. The library is honored to host a talk featuring Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU) Chief Diversity Officer, Dr. Jeffrey Carr, one of the first African-Americans to integrate Mississippi College in 1972 and worked side-by-side with civil rights leader John Lewis on a voters' rights campaign in Jackson, Mississippi, during the 1960s. Dr. Carr will be interviewed by Dr. Karl Martin.
