Lyles Station Historic School and Museum is hosting educational programs throughout February in honor of Black History Month.
The museum has been sharing daily videos on its YouTube channel each highlighting a historical figure.
This Saturday, Lyles Station will present “They Fought the Law—And They Won!” The program examines three legal cases brought by African Americans in Southern Indiana, including those of Polly Strong and Mary Bateman Clark, which helped end indentured servitude in the state.
“These stories are important,” said Juenell Owens, Vice President of the Lyles Station Board. “People need to know the hardships their ancestors faced and that change happened because brave individuals stood up and said, ‘This is wrong.’”
The event starts at 1 p.m. Central Time at the museum, located at 953 North 500 West in Princeton.
