ST. LOUIS - s4story -- At a moment when questions of justice, memory, and accountability feel more urgent than ever, the Museum is creating space for a powerful conversation that bridges histories too often examined in isolation.

The Museum invites the public to attend Civil Rights Night: The Impact of Racial Laws from Jim Crow to the Holocaust, a compelling educational program examining the historical connections between racial oppression in the United States and Nazi genocide on Thursday, February 12, from 6-7pm.

The event will feature Dr. Dan J. Puckett, Professor of History at Troy University and Chair of the Alabama Holocaust Commission. Dr. Puckett will explore how racial laws shaped American history under Jim Crow and how similar ideologies informed the legal and social framework of the Holocaust.
