On Saturday May 18th 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.
Sometimes the experience of racism within a community can be found within the histories of the places where people gather. Join us for a tour of Shelby Park, one of the first in Louisville designed as an “modern” city park by the Olmsted brothers. Established prior to the segregation of Louisville’s parks and the location of the first large public swimming pool in the city, its history holds clear examples of racial tensions throughout the decades
Certified Park Tour Guide Denise Davis will lead this eye-opening experience!
