Register for "The Summer of 1919"

23 February, 2026, 8:30 AM CT - 2:15 PM CT | Hosted by: Sterling College | Sterling, KS | Discussion Leader: Donna Devlin

In the aftermath of WWI African Americans embraced the philosophy of resistance to shite supremacy. When racial strife erupted in the streets across the natin, Black veterans and their supporters organized armed resistance and defended their home, businesses, and lives. They fought back against efforts to impose second class citizenship on them after so many had fought for the country. Blacks also resisted in the courts. Join us around the table in our conversation of the many challenges African Americans struggled to overcome in the early 20th century.

This program will be conducted as a discussion, utilizing primary source documents as the only readings, and with Professor Devlin facilitating the conversation. Registrants, therefore, are highly encouraged to read all the documents in advance and come ready with questions. Teachers will receive a Letter of Attendance at the conclusion of the seminar.

"It gave me a better understanding of the Founders’ views. They saw that restricting religious liberty is not only wrong; it leads to animosity within society. This year, I will begin both my government class and my class on “Law and Modern Society” with George Washington’s Letter to the Hebrew Congregation at Newport." — Sean B.
