The Golden Valley Historical Society (GVHS) will present the virtual program Black History in the GVHS Archives Feb 10, 7 pm, via Zoom. The presentation will cover topics including the Golden Valley Human Rights Commission, the Oliver Lyle lawsuit, and a comb through the Society's archives.
To date, examples of items from the archives include birth records from the early 1900s and school photos from the 1920s, which are some of the earliest documentation GVHS holds of Black families in Golden Valley.
The presentation will also explore the city’s earliest Black History Month celebrations during the 1980s, gaps in the archives, and potential steps for working with Black community members to preserve local history.
