Montgomery History Presents Thurgood Marshall

A Trail-Blazing Civil Rights Victory in Montgomery County

In Honor of Civil Rights Day

In honor of Civil Rights Day, Ralph Buglass of Montgomery History will present an illustrated talk on icon Thurgood Marshall who delivered an early blow to school segregation right here in Montgomery County—gaining equal pay for the county’s African American teachers in 1937. This little-known legal case is often seen as the first step in desegregation. No registration is needed for this program, though seating is limited.
