“The Struggle Continues: Equity in Education” is a series of three lectures that centers on the history of equity in public education. The series will examine today’s political climate and the role of the federal, state, and local governments in education, and will consider the ways citizens can play a role in equity in education. The March 19 lecture will be presented by William Coleman of the Hancock County Historical Society, who will examine the experiences of African Americans, Asians and Hispanics in Hancock, Harrison, and Jackson counties, in their pursuit of education.
