Step by step! : how the Lincoln School marchers blazed a trail to justice
\"Imagine you had to walk 600 miles to get fair treatment at school!\" Twelve-year-old Joyce Clemons introduces a fictional memory book documenting the little-known true story of nineteen Black mothers, thirty-seven children, and their two-year march to integrate an Ohio elementary school. Following the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision, Black mothers in Hillsboro, OH, attempted to enroll their children at the all-white Webster School. However, the local school board refused the call for integration. Demanding equal education, a group of Black mothers and children marched to and from Webster daily--until Black students were admitted. In Step by Step!, New York Times bestselling author Debbie Rigaud and coauthor Carlotta Penn thoughtfully capture the voice of a young activist and emphasize the power of Black mothers' leadership. Nysha Lilly's expressive illustrations, with historical primary sources interspersed throughout, immerse readers in the Lincoln School Marchers' fight. Rigaud and Penn simultaneously convey the challenges the marchers faced with the uplifting joy of a united community, encouraging readers to \"keep on marching\" for justice. Step by Step! is a collaboration between Ohio Humanities, Daydreamers Press, and the Lincoln School Marchers, who resolved to share their story.

Memory Matters
\"The past is never dead. It's not even past.\" — William Faulkner
The three thought-provoking essays in Memory Matters explore how the process of memorialization keeps the past alive in the present and shape the way we imagine our possible futures. The product of a one-day symposium hosted by the Humanities Center at Miami University of Ohio, it focuses on issues of commemoration in the contexts of U.S. history, Native America, and museums. In \"From Lexington and Concord to Oklahoma City: The Perils and Promise of Public History,\" Edward T. Linenthal offers a fresh perspective on creating national memorials. In \"The Remembered/Forgotten on Native Ground,\" Daniel M. Cobb draws upon Benedict Anderson's notion of the \"remembered/forgotten\" to explore the work of memory at the sites of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, the Wounded Knee Massacre, and the Miami Removal. And in \"Museums Matter,\" Helen Sheumaker explores how museums function as repositories and creators of cultural memory. The volume also includes a transcript based on the question-and-answer session following the original presentations. Stemming from a two-year scholarly project, \"Memory and Culture: Engaged Scholarship, Multidisciplinary Connections, and the Public Humanities,\" Memory Matters provides scholars and those interested in such fields as museum studies, memorial studies, and cultural history with provocative discussions of the ways in which representation, power, and memory intersect.
