TN History for Kids will produce one more student open house.
The event is Tuesday, May 13. The topic? Desegregation of Tennessee’s Public Schools.

This is a serious presentation intended for middle and high school students. History Bill will explain the Oak Ridge story, the Clinton story, the “Nashville Plan,” and what took place when the court system ordered public schools of Nashville and Memphis to be integrated using busing in the fall of 1971.
WE HAVE MADE A CHANGE TO THE PLANS. RATHER THAN BE A LIVE EVENT, THIS IS TAPED. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE 40-MINUTE TAPED PRESENTATION FOR STUDENTS, EMAIL BILL@TNHISTORYFORKIDS.ORG AND ASK FOR THE LINK.
