[Michlib-l] Upcoming Zoom Event at BPL- The Sarah E. Ray Project - Detroit's Other Rosa Parks

[Mick Howey]

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.
