Torrice Media was commissioned by the Highland County Historical Society and Museum to capture the dramatic story of school desegregation in Hillsboro, Ohio.
Elsie Young and her two daughters were interviewed about their fight for school integration in Hillsboro, Ohio, in the 1950’s. The interviews will be part of a dynamic exhibition at the Museum in 2017.
