Geauga Civil Rights Series: The Community Within: Discovering African American History in Rural Ohio In-Person

This event is presented by the Geauga County Library Foundation. Ric Sheffield will speak on Discovering African American History in Rural Ohio. Many rural areas in Ohio have long-established black communities that are often invisible to the larger white communities in which they reside.  This program relates the adventure of reclaiming the lost history of African Americans in Knox County, Ohio while explaining the benefits of including minority populations within celebrations of heritage and sharing strategies for undertaking such projects in communities of various sizes and racial and ethnic makeups.
