The 1932-1934 Berwyn School Fight

A reflection speech on the 1932-1934 Berwyn School Fight should be included in the People's Graphic Design Archive because it highlights the role of grassroots visual communication in civil rights history. Though not professionally designed, protest signs, flyers and community bulletins were powerful tools used by African American families to resist segregation and organize a two-year school boycott. Including this reflection honors the everyday design work of marginzalized communities and expands the definition of grapjhic design to include activism. It ensures that movements like the Berwyn School Fight are remembered as vital parts of design and social justice history.
