    Description: In July 1958, Black students gathered at downtown Wichita’s Dockum Drugstore to stage a peaceful protest against the unequal practice of segregation. What happened during the three-week sit-in? What caused it to end? And why was its importance recognized by so few at the time? This presentation discusses the details of the sit-in, explores how these protests helped transform the struggle for racial equality in America, and considers contemporary non-violent protests. Please register in advance for this free event: https://kansas.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcof-Ggrj0vEtwHLf3ghQUoNGG-niZK... After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. Submitted by: Jacob Livingston University of Kansas Humanities Program
