Mildred Brown & the De Porres Club's Fight for Civil Rights in Omaha

from Nebraska History Podcast · host Nebraska State Historical Society

Through the pages of the Omaha Star, Mildred Brown didn’t just report the news, she ignited a movement of boycotts and collective activism that predated the national stage. In this episode, we explore her work with the De Porres Club and their crusade through the 2010 Nebraska History Magazine article, “Mildred Brown and the De Porres Club: Collective Activism in Omaha, Nebraska’s Near North Side, 1947-1960,” written by Amy Helene Forss.
