Landing After Hours: “Integration and Lincoln University”

Lincoln University is Missouri’s oldest Historically Black College or University (HBCU). In the late 19th and early 20th centuries it was one of the few options for Black Missourians to pursue higher education. But, was it always just for Black students? Join the museum’s own Stephana Landwehr, semi-retired educator and 1966 graduate of Lincoln University, as she explores the original documents of the university’s integration leaders as they prepared to integrate.
