Civil Rights Exhibit
The traveling display has been created to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Milwaukee’s fair housing marches. Called “Crossing the Line: The Fair Housing Marches of 1967-1968,” it reproduces photographs and documents from the Society’s collection in Madison. Its eight panels examine the practices and prejudices that led to segregation in Milwaukee and chronicle the school desegregation and fair housing movements of the 1960s.
