Frederick During the Civil Rights Movement


Course number : LIR198    ID : 30053    Section Number : 1

« back to classes page
In Frederick, segregation was the way of life before the Civil War well into the mid-twentieth century. Although small towns like Frederick were not always recognized nationally in the Black freedom struggle, the stories from their citizens are important for a true understanding of the local and regional impact of the Civil Rights Movement. This class will include stories and a panel discussion from local Civil Rights activists, focusing on their lasting influence on the Frederick community.

Grace Schofield is a local Special Education and Social Studies high school teacher in Frederick County Public Schools. Along with teaching, she advises a service club and co-advises a Black Lives Matter club at her school. She serves on the AARCH Society Research and Education committees and contributes to AARCH Reads and to the FCPS/AARCH Society Partnership subcommittee. She brings to the class her love of local history, researching Black history of Frederick and helping students of all ages learn about the Frederick Community.
