Art of the Civil Rights Movement in Montgomery

Madeline Burkhardt of the Rosa Parks Museum at Troy University, Dorothy Walker of the Freedom Rides Museum, Artist Bill Ford, and Curator of Education Alice Novak will discuss artists’ representation of the Civil Rights Movement in Montgomery. The conversation will focus on works held by our partners’ institutions including representations of Rosa Park’s participation in the Bus Boycott (1955), the Freedom Rides (1961), and Bill Ford’s murals at the Bertha P. Williams Library, which commemorate the Selma to Montgomery March (1965).

This event will be held on Facebook Live. No registration required.
