Participants in the 1965-68 March on Milwaukee will discuss this landmark event, right here on the Stiemke stage.
Heralded as The Selma of the North, Milwaukee played an integral part in the Civil Rights Movement. Led by Father James Groppi, the housing protest marches across Milwaukee pushed the nation toward open housing legislation as part of the 1968 Civil Rights Act.
Moderated by Everett L. Marshburn, producer of MPTV’s Black Nouveau and Freedom Walkers of Milwaukee.
Panelists:
• Margaret “Peggy” Rozga, civil rights author, playwright, and activist, and wife of the late Father James Groppi
