Legacy Series: A Conversation with Carolyn Jones
Hosted by Shreve Memorial Library and Shreve Memorial Library (Main Branch)
We are partnering with the North Louisiana Civil Rights Coalition as they present the “Legacy Series” at our Main Branch! The first presentation will be a conversation with Carolyn Jones, who integrated Caddo Parish Public Schools as a six year old more than 50 years ago. She will share her unique experience as both a pioneer in local civil rights legacies, and an entrepreneur in the beauty industry. Carolyn Jones is currently the owner of the historic Modern Beauty Shop — first opened in 1958 — where she has cultivated a longstanding career in cosmetology, activism, and service in Shreveport.
