Crossing the Line: The Milwaukee Fair Housing Marches of 1967-1968
February 1, 2027 – February 26, 2027
How do citizens work for change when faced with injustice?
The traveling display Crossing the Line: The Milwaukee Fair Housing Marches of 1967-1968 commemorates the 50th anniversary of Milwaukee’s civil rights marches by examining the practices and prejudices that led to segregation in Milwaukee and chronicling the school desegregation and fair housing movements of the 1960s. It also asks the question, “What can you do to end segregation today?”
We gratefully acknowledge the Milwaukee County Historical Society, Wisconsin Black Historical Society and Museum, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and March on Milwaukee 50th Anniversary Coordinating Committee for their help developing content for Crossing the Line.
