Exhibit chronicles era of school segregation

? The ugly history of school segregation in Wichita is the focus of a newly opened exhibit.

The exhibit, “Separate is Not Equal,” opened Saturday at the Kansas African American Museum. It’s a collaboration between the museum, the McCormick School Museum and the Wichita Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

Galyn Vesey directed a two-year project aimed at looking at segregation’s influences on Wichitans. He said it was important to him to do the project so that future Wichitans would not forget the impact of segregation.
