12 p.m. – 1 p.m. – (Lunch & Learn) – “The Dockum Drugstore Sit-In“ Presented by Dr. Prisca Barnes is the founder of Storytime Village, Inc., a nonprofit organization in Wichita that promotes reading among low-income children and families.
Seeking racial equity and an end to segregation, Wichita’s Black students organized and staged a sit-in in 1958 at Wichita’s Dockum Drugstore. Long denied entry into the city’s movie theaters and restaurants, students exercised their right to peacefully protest over a three-week period at the popular lunch counter. What transpired, how it ended, and the lasting impact it had on race relations in the city is the focus of this talk. More broadly, the talk will explore how these types of protests transformed the struggle for racial equity in America. • Gumbo soup lunch, drinks, and dessert will be available for free (attendees may also bring their own lunch). • Photo promotion taken with “I Stand For” signs” provided by the Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes. FREE.
