Julia Hill spent nearly 60 years at the forefront of the battle for civil rights and equality. Now she participates in a public conversation with educator Mary Ann Wynkoop, discussing her own story as a Kansas City woman who made a difference.
Hill recently retired from the board of the local NAACP, which she once led. Her history as an activist includes protesting against segregated lunch counters in downtown department stores and presiding over the Kansas City School Board.
Wynkoop is retired from UMKC, where she directed the American Studies Program from 2002-2011. She is preparing curriculum for a course on the women who have contributed to Kansas City history.
