At the conference’s conclusion at 12:30 on Saturday, November 8th, ELA will offer a special post-conference event. After picking up box lunches, we will travel by coach to the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site. We will do the ranger-guided tour of the site to hear the story of Oliver Brown and the other history makers at the Monroe Elementary School, one of the four segregated schools in the Topeka School District. Update:  The Brown v. Board National Historic Site is a national park, and because of the Government Shutdown, it has been closed.   As an alternative, we are arranging a Kansas City Museums afternoon tour from 1-5:30pm.  Kansas City is home to the National World War I Museum, which houses the largest collection of WWI artifacts in the world and the Liberty Memorial, which is the big torch you'll see when you pass downtown on the way from the airport to the conference hotel.     The WWI Museum is a *private* museum that's also supported by the City of Kansas City, so it is OPEN!  It's been ranked as one of the best museum grounds in the country:  Set *in the hill* that overlooks downtown, almost like it's set inside a trench.  Inside, it tells the story of World War I not just from multiple theaters of war, but how the war "Over There" changed America over here.  When you walk in, you walk over a field of poppies, each flower representing a thousand casualties of the war.   From the World War I Museum, we'll go to the 18th and Vine District in Kansas City to the American Jazz Museum and the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, which was *already* on the schedule.  These two museums are side-by-side in the 18th and Vine African-American Historical District.  This was the home of Kansas City's version of Black Wall Street in the pre-Brown era, and these museums are, really, civil rights
