Description

In conjunction with the Mobile Museum of Tolerance Tour (7/29-7/30 Noon - 7PM Fox River Valley Public Library), Sarah Sullivan, instructor of History and Business at McHenry County College will be presenting Beyond Rosa: The Women of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, at the Dundee Township Park District Adult Activities Center (665 Barrington Avenue) adjacent to the library on Monday July 29th at 1:00pm. What you think you know about the Montgomery Bus Boycott is incomplete; women do not often show up in Civil Rights history, but women planned, coordinated and implemented one of history’s most successful boycotts. The backstory of this boycott is fascinating and will change your understanding of history.
