50 YEARS OF SHAPING HISTORY IN MILWAUKEE
How can we make a difference? How can we have a voice in our neighborhood? How can we have a corrective influence over what is unjust? Journal Sentinel Online explores 50 years of Milwaukee's history during which time the voice of a few made significant changes in the community, both locally and nationally. The presentation, mostly in photos, addresses the ongoing Presbytery theme of equality in our midst. The photo essay is available here.
