BRAINERD — Central Lakes College’s Cultural Thursday series presents “Civil Disobedience and the Culture of the Civil Rights Movement.”
The presentation is noon Thursday, Feb. 2, in the Chalberg Theatre, Brainerd campus.
Presenting will be a panel of Upward Bound Program students and staff and sociology instructor Scott Foster, who were part of a trip last summer that looked at the U.S. Civil Rights Trail. The trip aimed to help participants better understand the legacy of historical and institutional racism as well as the resilience, persistence and civil disobedience of the civil rights movement. The group visited Nashville and Memphis in Tennessee, and Montgomery, Selma and Birmingham in Alabama, in less than a week.
“Join us and support the learning of our emerging student leaders while learning yourself about the realities of U.S. history and the enduring culture of the Civil Rights Movement,” organizers said in a news release.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of "staff." Often, the "staff" byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
Hi, I'm the Brainerd Dispatch. I started working a few days before Christmas in 1881 and became a daily paper two years later. I've gone through a lot of changes over the years, but what has never changed is my commitment to community and to local journalism. I've got an entire team of dedicated people who work night and day to make sure I go out every morning, whether in print, as an e-edition, via an app or with additional information at www.brainerddispatch.com. News, weather, sports — videos, photos, podcasts and social media — all covering stories from central Minnesota about your neighbors, your lakes, your communities, your challenges and your opportunities. It's all part of the effort to keep people connected and informed. And we couldn't do it without support.
