Product Description
WGTE is proud to present Through Toledo's Eyes the stories of Toledoans remembering the Civil Rights Era history of the Dorr Street neighborhood.
The 1960s were a turbulent time in America and Northwest Ohio . In this era of mistrust, underlying racial tension began to come to the surface in Toledo , Ohio . Eventually, the pressure of decades of racial inequality and anger found a release.
In 1967, the Dorr Street neighborhood, a cherished shopping and socializing center for the African American community, became a major focal point in the fight for civil rights in the city of Toledo . Although it would prove to be the end of Dorr Street as a cohesive community, it was also the beginning of an open and honest dialogue between blacks and whites in Toledo . |
