Museum Hosts Author for Black History Month Lecture
Jerry Mikorenda Recounts Early Civil Rights Transportation Case in NYC
The Hudson River Maritime Museum is pleased to announce the upcoming lecture “The World of Elizabeth Jennings,” by Jerry Mikorenda, held virtually on Wednesday, February 23, 2022 at 7:00 PM, in conjunction with Black History Month.
For many, the civil rights movement began with Rosa Parks’ brave stand against segregation in 1954. However, few people realize that the right for African Americans to even ride in streetcars was earned a hundred years before that in a landmark civil rights case here in New York State.
