GREAT BARRINGTON — The Du Bois Freedom Center will host The Scottsboro Boys Traveling Exhibit beginning Feb. 10, sharing the story of nine Black teenagers whose 1930s case became an international symbol of racial injustice. Presented in partnership with The Scottsboro Boys Museum in Alabama, the exhibit highlights the case’s lasting impact on civil rights and its connections to the legacy of W.E.B. Du Bois.
Organizers say the exhibit offers the community a meaningful opportunity to engage with this pivotal chapter in American history. A moderated conversation with museum leaders and Du Bois scholars will also take place at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center during the exhibit’s run.
