History PhD alum Melvin Barnes was featured in a recent documentary, "The Lincoln Story," on WOSU.
 

"The Lincoln School Story follows a group of Black mothers in Southwest Ohio as they heroically fight for school desegregation. After Brown v. Board of Education was decided in 1954, the Lincoln School Marchers marched with their children to the white elementary school, demanding admission—only to be turned away. They woke the next morning and marched again. And again. For over two years, they marched in what became one of the longest-sustained actions of the nation’s Civil Rights movement."--Ohio Humanities Website
 

The video is available on the Ohio Humanities website, as well as bios of the adult children who marched. Links to a written story, a children's book, activity book and coloring pages are also available.
