Participants in our Courageous Conversation series heard from Judge Duane Bailey as we discussed how the Civil Rights movement unfolded in Alton and the larger Riverbend community.
Due to technical difficulties with YouTube, we were unable to watch an introduction video to Civil Rights during the program; however, you can watch it here: Civil Rights and the 1950s: Crash Course US History.
