Let History Speak: Public Education and The NC Constitution
2025-05-08 19:00 | NC
“No matter how hard a time period has been, North Carolinians have always shown up to promote public education and democracy.“ – Ann McColl
“Let History Speak: How 1868, 1901, and 1956 Help Us Find Our Voice Today,” documents the establishment of public education in NC during the challenging times after the civil war. The 1868 North Carolina Constitutional Convention, held in Raleigh from January 13 to March 17, resulted in a new state constitution ratified in April 1868 which included the state’s establishment of a public school system.
Join us for this 50-minute screening and conversation with the author Ann McColl to learn more about the inclusion of a free public education for all children enshrined in the 1868 NC Constitution. We will discuss how other critical events in North Carolina in 1901 (the great campaign for public education) and 1956 (mandates of Brown vs Board of Education), and how they are relevant today.
