Shake Rag Neighborhood: Past and Present
The Shake Rag neighborhood is a vital part of Bowling Green’s past and present. The downtown community grew steadily after the Civil War as a segregated part of the city for many African Americans. Join us for a panel discussion about this vibrant National Register of Historic Places neighborhood and the community’s culture. Learn more about those who built Shake Rag, along with present day community leaders.
