ORIGINS

Our inaugural exhibit answered the question, "How did a high school for minority children come to be within the region?" Origins was on view from February through September, 2019. Because of its vital importance to the history of regional education, we will make the exhibit into a virtual one so that more members of the public may enjoy and learn from it.
