Sunday Series: From Civil War to Civil Rights

This program highlights historic events that reveal both Oberlin's progress and setbacks in race relations dating from early Oberlin all the way up to the 21st Century. Sharing stories from Oberlin’s Oral History Project, the Oberlin Heritage Center’s Museum Education & Tour Coordinator, Amanda Manahan, traces the changes in attitudes from idealism immediately after the Civil War to discrimination during Jim Crow and back to the idealism of the Civil Rights Era.

The Oberlin Oral History Project is an ongoing community effort presently overseen by the Heritage Center that includes more than 200 interviews of long-time Oberlin residents collected by volunteers over the past four decades.

Masks are required for program participants. Preregistration required.
