Summary
This episode shares a powerful story from 1942 at Michigan State Normal College, where eight college women preparing to become teachers faced discrimination when an African American classmate was excluded from shared housing. In an inspiring act of solidarity, the seven white students refused to participate unless their classmate was included, leading the college to allow an integrated living arrangement. Their experience became a lasting lesson in courage, fairness, and standing together in the face of injustice. ___________________________ Produced by Michigan History Magazine
