The Lexington History Museum’s LexTalks series offers our first program of the year:

"Central KY Women & the 1964 March on Frankfort"

will be presented by African American history scholar Dr. Le Datta Grimes and documentary producer Joanna Hay.

The 1964 March on Frankfort was organized by Kentuckians with guest speakers Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Jackie Robinson. Music was provided by folk artists Peter, Paul and Mary and the Kentucky State College choir, led by Dr. Carl H. Smith. Ten thousand people marched on Frankfort that day, and it led to the passage of the Kentucky Civil Rights Act of 1966.

The Dr. Thomas Hunt Morgan House is located at 210 North Broadway. Some parking is available in the house lot; metered street parking is free on Sundays.
