Calendar of Events

Thursday 6-7 PM
Knoxville College
on Zoom

The following week we’ll be honored to welcome civil rights leader, pioneer Black politician, and historical author Robert Booker, who will be talking about the remarkable history of his alma mater, Knoxville College, the landmark institution of higher learning for African Americans that caught the attention of Black leaders from Frederick Douglass to Booker T. Washington to W.E.B. Dubois to Martin Luther King, all of whom lectured there—and that even today refuses to give up. KC has lately been in limbo, but things are stirring.

Join Jack Neely and staff each week for a new topic on Knoxville's rich and fascinating history. For more information and to register for this week's chat please visit https://knoxvillehistoryproject.org/events/
