Growing up in Arlington, Virginia, Joan Trumpauer Mulholland witnessed firsthand the ugly realities of segregation and racism. Vowing to ally herself with anti racists, Mulholland joined the Freedom Riders to fight against injustice. Mulholland’s social justice activism eventually led her to death row in Mississippi’s notorious Parchman Penitentiary.

We are honored to offer two events, in partnership with Eudora Public Library, detailing an incredible story of white allyship during the Civil Rights movement.

Film Screening: An Ordinary Hero

By the time she was 19 years old, legendary Civil Rights Activists, Joan Trumpauer Mulholland participated in over three dozen sit-ins and protests she was put on death row in Mississippi’s notorious Parchman Penitentiary with other Freedom Riders. She was involved in one of the most famous and violent sit-ins of the Movement at the Jackson Woolworth’s lunch counter and helped plan and organize the March on Washington.

A Conversation with Freedom Rider Joan Trumpauer Mulholland
SAT | Mar 18 | 11AM–12:30 PM | Auditorium
