Since its founding as a teachers’ training school 1866, Towson University has been an essential part of education in Maryland. However, a large part of its history was as a segregated institution. Even after the Supreme Court ruled racial segregation unconstitutional and the school was integrated, racist attitudes prevailed on campus. How does this legacy impact the history of education in Baltimore? Felicity Knox from Towson University’s Special Collections and University Archives will explore this vital question, using material from the University Archives collection

The event will be held in Cook Library Room 507
