The International Civil Rights Center Museum will mark the 64th Anniversary of the successful conclusion of the Greensboro civil rights sit-ins on July 20, 2024, at its annual fundraising Gala at the Joseph F. Koury Convention Center.
This year also marks the 70th Anniversary of the landmark civil rights case Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, when American civil rights lawyer, Thurogood Marshall successfully argued that state-sanctioned segregation of public school was a direct violation of the 14th Amendment and therefore unconstitutional. Racial segregation in public schools was ruled inherently unequal no matter what might have been the conditions of the schools or quality of the programs. In recognition of this earth-shaking decison, the ICRCM has named the theme of the upcoming Gala, "The Road to Equality."
Six significant contributors to civil and human rights will be honored during the Civil Rights Museum’s most important annual commemorative event.
Doors open at 5 p.m., and the event will take place from 6:00 to 8 p.m.
