A Historical Visit with Elizabeth Jennings Graham

Guest Speaker:

• Come and hear a historic dramatization of Elizabeth Jennings Graham.
• A century before Rosa Parks, she used civil disobedience to protest segregation in New York City.
• Her struggle thought the courts led to the desegregation of all public transit in the city.
• Later, after Civil War draft riot tensions in New York City, she lived in this area for a time.
