LU-MRRL Lecture Series
You are invited to the upcoming LU-MRRL Lecture Series event, "A Look Back at Lincoln Institute." This event is scheduled for Tuesday, May 6 from 6:30-8 pm at the Art Gallery, Missouri River Regional Library (214 Adams Street, Jefferson City). This talk will feature LU Archivist, Mark Schleer. The complete program summary is below:
From 1866 to 1921, Lincoln Institute served as the forebearer of the current Lincoln University. Founded by members of the United States Colored Infantry to provide education for African Americans, the school transformed its curriculum from basic learning skills to offering college level courses to those who had previously been denied the opportunity. LU Archivist Mark Schleer will share his knowledge on this topic.
