Ruth Tulchinsky - excerpts from Life Story
| Description: |
Pages from Ruth Tulchinskys Life Story autobiography that detail the working relationship between J. Chester Allen and her husband Maurice Tulchinsky, lead attorneys in the legal effort that in 1950 finally integrated the Engman Natatorium in South Bend. The segregated Engman had served as a symbol of the racial divide in South Bend, and the efforts toward full integration had begun with the African American community decades before. Mrs. Tulchinskys introductory letter addressed to IU South Bend professor Les Lamon announces her intention to illuminate the friendship between Mr. Allen and Mr. Tulchinsky, and to clear up misreported details about the case. She came forward after plans were announced to convert and rededicate the Engman as the IU South Bend Civil Rights Heritage Center in 2008. |
