Desiree Cooper</b> and <b>Aaron Schillinger</b> as they present the <b><a href="https://www.detroitsotherrosaparks.com/">Sarah E. Ray Project</a></b>. Seventy-five years ago a 24-year-old, African American secretary was denied a seat on the segregated Boblo
boat, SS Columbia. Like Rosa Parks, she refused to back down, taking her fight for integration all the way to the United States Supreme Court. Represented by fabled NAACP lawyer Thurgood Marshall, Ray won her case. Scholars argue that she paved the way for
the seminal, 1954 Brown v. Board of Education, which found that separate was inherently unequal. Ray's abandoned home on the eastside of Detroit was named one of America's '11 Most Endangered Historic Sites' by the National Trust for Historic Preservation
in June 2021. Cooper is a former attorney, Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist, and community activist. Schillinger is a filmmaker whose documentary "Boblo Boats: A Detroit Ferry Tale" screened to a sold-out crowd at the Freep Film Festival last month and
was awarded the Hometown Talent Award. <o:p></o:p></p>
