On April 13th at 11:00 a.m., we’ll take a stroll through Shelby Park and learn how one park can communicate so much about racial tension and discrimination in Louisville.
Here's a little back story: When asked if Olmsted parks were segregated, the resounding answer is NOT UNTIL 1924, after General Castleman died. It is true that - officially - the parks were segregated only after an incident at Iroquois Park when two young Black teachers were accused of allowing their students to play in a white space. In actuality, the story is much more complicated - and one that can be revealed through a Shelby Park tour.
