Civil Rights Movement

After studying the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s for several weeks, today the fifth-grade learned about The Bryn Mawr School's history of integration, which began with Erselle Datcher in the fall of 1965. We used the blog, Bryn Mawr Recollected, written by Claire Hruban, Middle School librarian, as the basis of our presentation to the girls. We also showed them the amazing Senior Project created by Milan George and India Kutcherman, Class of 2018. You can see it for yourself here.

Here we are at the plaque commemorating the 50th anniversary of Erselle Datcher Porter's graduation from Bryn Mawr.
