Courage

Courage:
The Vision to End Segregation. The Guts to Fight for it.

A Landmark Exhibition at the Museum of Tolerance

February 8 - December 13, 2010

Through recreated sets and fascinating archival material, COURAGE brings to life the struggles against racial segregation in public schools. It tells the story of the brave citizens of Clarendon County, SC, who brought the first of five lawsuits that would challenge racial segregation and lead to the landmark Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education. Through the personal stories of Rev. J.A. De Laine, his family, community members, and legal champions, we learn about the sacrifices ordinary people made to advance civil rights. The experience is introduced through a new MOT installation called PARA TODOS LOS NINOS: FIGHTING SEGREGATION IN CALIFORNIA which depicts the struggles of Latino families to end segregation in Southern California almost ten years before Brown v. Board.
