Sink or Swim: The Library remembers The Great Flood of ‘37 with a panel discussion [Books]

Sink or Swim: The Library remembers The Great Flood of ‘37 with a panel discussi
Seventy-five years ago the Ohio flooded our River City in Louisville’s worst natural disaster of the 20th century. Join a team of local historians, authors and journalists this Tuesday, February 7th at 7pm, as the Library explores the extraordinary measures taken during The Great Flood.

My Grandfather was seventeen-years-old when the city of Louisville was swallowed alive by the surging waters of the Ohio some seven decades ago. The pictures are old and grainy – depicting a Louisville in a faded mantle of sepia and smoke that looks so unfamiliar to the streets we now traipse by heart. I pass flood markers everyday on my bus trek to work, shifting a sleepy gaze on the tin sign bolted to the corner streetlight of 4th and York. The water level was high; the bottom of the sign grazing a measurement well into a comfortable swimming level.

Why are Black Kentucky Residents Excited About Charter School Legislation? [The Arena]

Kentucky's public school system is ranked among the worst in the nation. One active group of concerned citizens is actively fighting for choices for black children in Louisville.

Children are our future, or so we keep saying. 

It seems as though lawmakers in Kentucky, and Jefferson county specifically, are focused on ensuring that adults' political and financial interests come before the interests of our children.

In saying "our children," the implication here lies specifically on black children living in the commonwealth of Kentucky.
