Posted by BEN BEAUMONT – Clinton School student Spirit Trickey Rowan and Jonathan Dunkley will travel to Marvel, Ark., on Tuesday where they have organized a Black History Month program featuring Minnijean Brown Trickey of the Little Rock Nine.
The program will be held at noon at the Boys, Girls, Adults Community Development Center (BGACDC) where Trickey Rowan and Dunkley are helping out as part of the Clinton School’s Practicum public service program.
Brown Trickey, mother of Trickey Rowan, will discuss her experiences as one of the first black students to integrate all-white Little Rock Central High School in 1957. The Helena Daily World has a preview story about the program on its website. CLICK HERE to read it.
We’ll have a report up from one of the students after the events tomorrow.
