TRC Showcases Local History: SEMO Sharecroppers
In 1939, hundreds of Southeast Missouri sharecroppers held a demonstration on Highways 60 and 61 to raise awareness of the conditions they were living in. At the time, the demonstration caught national attention.
Three Rivers College will host a lecture on the conditions leading up to the demonstration, as well as a showing of the documentary “Oh Freedom After While.” A photo gallery and timeline will also be on display.
The event will take place on Wednesday, February 2 in the Plaster Building at Three Rivers College in Poplar Bluff.
