Celebrate Juneteenth at the Independence Science and Technology Center.
In honor of the 70th Anniversary of Brown v The Board of Education and the Juneteenth holiday, Humanities Kansas Speaker Donna Rea Pearson is giving a presentation titled The Women of Brown. She says they will discuss why this historic case happened in Kansas.
Pearson, who spoke in Parsons back in February, says it's good to be able to come back to Southeast Kansas. Pearson says she was excited to be invited to speak in a town named Independence in honor of a holiday about slaves receiving theirs.
The event is at 125 South Penn Avenue starting at 2:00pm on Saturday.
