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.

Sponsored by the Kentucky African American Heritage Commission.

Location: Kentucky Museum
