Memory is a fascinating topic to discuss…this is especially true when it comes to the memorialization of historical events. Who picks and chooses what is remembered, taught, and celebrated. When discussing the role of Kansas in the Civil Rights Movement, the Supreme Court case of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka is often thought of. However, the all but forgotten Coffeeyvile Race Riot of 1927 is an example of Black armed resistance against mob mentality and the almost lynching of three innocent men that we should not forget. Broadcasting from Kansas State University this is episode four: Forgetting Strength: Coffeyville, the Black Freedom Struggle, and Vanished Memory. This interview with Mr. Geoffrey Newman also discusses the major role Elisha J. Scott, an African American attorney from Topeka, Kansas. From World War I to the 1950s, Scott worked tirelessly for justice in the Black Freedom Struggle. He represented Black defendants across the nation, and he won victories in several desegregation cases, including one in Coffeyville that PRE-DATED Brown v. Board by a quarter of a century.Music provided by: Kevin MacLeod
