Skit focuses on desegregation

YOUNGSTOWN

Leon Stennis, an adjunct professor of English at Walsh University in North Canton and former religion editor of The Vindicator, will be the key participant in a skit on the Little Rock, Ark., school desegregation crisis of 1957 at Union Baptist Church, 528 Lincoln Ave., on Sunday.

The skit, titled “The Little Rock Crisis: A Story Behind the Story,” will be presented at 9:30 a.m. in the church sanctuary.

Its focus will be on how the family of Stennis, a native of Little Rock, endured the crisis. The crisis involved nine black students desegregating the 2,000-student, all-white Little Rock Central High School, racial violence by white mobs, closure of all four of the city’s high schools for a year, and then President Dwight D. Eisenhower sending federal troops to quell the violence.

The event is open to the public.
