Many people don’t know that Iowa was the first state in the U.S. to officially integrate its public schools in 1868, just three years after the Civil War ended. Join the African American Museum of Iowa to uncover more stories of Black Iowans throughout history at Endless Possibilities. Starting with the Lewis and Clark expedition and into the present day, we will see how Black Americans have shaped Iowa’s culture, economy, and laws.
Sydney O’Hare is the museum educator at the African American Museum of Iowa in Cedar Rapids. She’s a life-long Midwesterner who earned her BA in History from DePaul University and her MA in History from the University of Iowa.
She is excited to team up with other Iowa institutions to showcase Black history around the state. Free program is sponsored by Community 1st Credit Union and hosted by Indianola Parks & Recreation.
