Little Rock, 1942: Encore Performance

February 28 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

February 28, 7:00-9:00 p.m. Landmark Center. $10.

With an all-star cast of Twin Cities lawyers and judges, Little Rock, 1942 is the true story of a civil rights lawsuit that brought Thurgood Marshall to St. Paul, and led to the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision. In 1942, Sue Cowan Williams, formerly known as Susie Morris, head of the Dunbar High School English Department and a member of the Little Rock Classroom Teachers Association, sued the school district for equal pay for black teachers. With the assistance of Thurgood Marshall, an attorney from the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Williams won her case in the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Little Rock, 1942 was performed in October of 2024 as Landmark Center’s annual History Play. We are excited to present this special one-night performance that highlights a very important historical event. More info and tickets at landmarkcenter.org/event/history-play-little-rock-1942-3.
