Courage: The Vision to End Segregation and the Guts to Fight for It

Courage: The Vision to End Segregation and the Guts to Fight for It tells the powerful grass-roots “people story” behind the Supreme Court’s landmark Civil Rights decision Brown v. Board of Education. The exhibit traces the saga of Rev. J.A. DeLaine and the brave citizens of Clarendon County who brought the first lawsuit challenging racial segregation in public schools.

COURAGE was created by the Levine Museum of the New South, Charlotte, N.C. and made possible by a grant from Bank of America. The exhibit is presented at the State Museum through the generous support of The Nord Family Foundation, Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina, Central Carolina Community Foundation and Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP. The exhibit will run Saturday, Feb. 28 through Sunday, July 26 and is included with general admission or museum membership. Visit scmuseum.org to learn more.
