The Lincoln School Story project has been busier than ever! We are happy to announce we will be working with the Ohio Humanities to expand our project. A children's book is in the works by Ohio author Carlotta Penn. We will be doing some changes to our film to include civil rights information and make the film more up-to-date.  We continue to share this story every chance we get and have recently done programs for the Clinton County Historical Society and several businesses. 
A book on Highland County Black history is now available through the Highland County Historical Society webpage - www.HChistoricalsociety.weebly.com. 
​

A bench has been dedicated in front of the Highland County Courthouse in honor of the Lincoln School Marchers. A big thank you to Shawn Captain from Hillsboro Against Racism & Discrimination (HARD) for his efforts and Harsha Monument Co./Mayor Justin Harsha for donating the bench. Seen here is 104 year old Miss Elsie Steward Young who is the only living mother who marched.

Please check out our Facebook site - Lincoln School Project, Hillsboro, Ohio. We keep this site updated with new information and places we will be doing our program!

We are so excited the reception this movie and exhibit has received! We have been busy sharing this exciting civil rights story. Join us April 20 at the National Afro American Museum in Wilburforce, Oh from 1-3. What an honor to share this story in this wonderful museum!

On October 6, 2018, the Lincoln Marchers were given the Women Making A Difference Award by Senator Sherrod Brown's office at the Women's Leadership Summit at Xavier University

The Lincoln Committee has been busy! The Lincoln School Story has been shown in several Cincinnati churches and was well received! Over the holidays, Hillsboro honored the marchers and elected them the Grand Marshalls of the Hillsboro Holiday Parade. The film has been shown to most of the Hillsboro High School history classes with discussions following with the students and some of the women who marched as children. Last weekend, Cincinnati World Cinema included the Lincoln School Story along with the 5 Oscar-nominated documentary shorts in their viewing event at Memorial Hall. Over 700 people attended over the weekend and we could not be happier at the reception this story received! There is also Lincoln exhibit at the Highland County Library in Hillsboro for Black History Month.
