Come tour Iroquois Park with Denise Davis, an Olmsted Parks Conservancy.
Class Description
Louisville's Iroquois Park was important to the city's struggle for civil rights. It was there, in 1924, that two Black teachers were arrested for angrily responding to police and white neighbors who accosted them for bringing Black children to the playground. Come tour Iroquois Park with Denise Davis, an Olmsted Parks Conservancy tour guide, to learn details of the teachers’ arrest, and to delve more deeply into the common assertion that, prior to 1924, Louisville parks were not segregated. The tour begins and ends in the Iroquois Amphitheater parking lot. The route is a paved, mostly flat, path.
WHEN: Saturday, November 16, at 11 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
WHERE: Meet at Iroquois Park Amphitheatre parking lot
