Lyda Conley and the Fight to Preserve Huron Indian Cemetery
About This Event
Join us for a talk with the editors of the new book Lyda Conley and the Fight to Preserve Huron Indian Cemetery. It’s the inspiring story of Lyda Conley, the first Indigenous woman to argue a case before the United States Supreme Court and a trailblazing lawyer and activist who defended the burials of her Wyandot family and ancestors in Kansas City’s Huron Indian Cemetery. Driven by primary sources and oral histories, this biography and source reader is the definitive work on this remarkable woman.
This event is part of the America at 250 series and will be held in-person and also livestreamed on the Watkins Museum Facebook and YouTube.
