On May 3, 2002, the Johnson County Museum, in partnership with South Park Elementary, unveiled an exhibit recounting the struggle for equal education in South Park, Kansas. The permanent exhibit hangs in a central hallway at South Park Elementary, 8715 W. 49th Terrace, Merriam, Kansas.
The Johnson County Museum provided research, writing and supervision of the project. Exhibit production funding came from the Ewing M. Kauffman Fund for Greater Kansas City and a State of Kansas Goals 2000 Project grant. The following institutions also contributed to this project: Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, NE Chapter of the NAACP, Merriam Community Center Foundation and South Park Elementary School PTA.
On May 25, 2004, this exhibit was dedicated to the memory of Corinthian Clay Nutter (1906-2004), an inspiring educator and a civil rights leader in Johnson County, Kansas.
