LECTURES

After the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in April 1968, a Catholic priest and theology professor, Father John Brooks, at the College of the Holy Cross sought out young black men to integrate into a, then, all-while school. Among the 20 young men he found were a future Supreme Court justice, a Pulitzer Prize winner and one of the most successful defense attorneys in the country. Author Diane Brady chronicles the stories of five of those young men in her book Fraternity.

Join Worcester Historical Museum as Diane Brady and Father John Brooks his decision to integrate the College of the Holy Cross, how it changed the school and the lives of its students.
