Thomas J. Suhrbur, author of Public Education and Social Reform: A History of the Illinois Education Association, traces the evolution of Illinois public education from 1818 to today—exploring how racism, sexism, religion, privatization, and policy have shaped the system. Discover how pivotal moments, including those in Queen Bee District 16 during the 1970s–80s, continue to resonate today during a presentation at the Glenside Library.
