The Hoxie21 Story

Discuss research and document the impact of cultural and humanitarian effects of segregation.
As well, seek to develop a humanities-based inter-disciplinary approach to examine the complexities of human behavior, causes and effects of change, impact on communities, and relevance to historical memory.
We believe that recognizing the Hoxie School desegregation case will provide open minded understanding of decision making and provoke innovative discussion of civil rights.

.Our education initiative helps facilitate learning for both children and adults. From in-class teaching and story telling, to Providing lectures to include cultural, educational lesson plans and community-based institutions, we provide the necessary skills that everyone needs to have a more inclusive historical knowledge.
