We Will Rise: National Parks and Civil Rights
by National Park Service
November 22, 2022 4:00 pm
Imagine a National Park. Picturing waterfalls and mountains? Or Dr. King’s childhood home, Japanese internment camps, and a school that became a battleground for racial integration? National Parks aren’t just wilderness. They are spaces of remembrance, preserving the stories of who we are and how we came to be. Join Park Rangers, researchers, authors, and activists as we discuss what liberty and justice for all means on our public lands. Opinions shared by guests are not the official position of the NPS.
