Ray Project called attention to the historic significance of the house and the Detroit Land Bank removed it from the demolition list. The National Trust for Historic Preservation named the former home of Sarah E. Ray one of America's “ 11 Most Endangered Historic Sites ” in 2021. Like Rosa Parks, she refused to back down, taking her fight for integration all the way to the United States Supreme Court. Represented by fabled NAACP lawyer Thurgood Marshall, Ray won her case. Scholars argue that she paved the way for the seminal, 1954 Brown v. Board of Education, which found that separate was inherently unequal. Rosa Parks was a seamstress. She struggled to find employment in Detroit for 2 years. The little 3 bedroom house was eventually placed on a demolition list by the City of Detroit. Rhea McCauley, Rosa Parks' niece who was one of the children living in the house with her aunt Rosa, bought it from the city for 500USD in 2014. Rosa Parks (born February 4, 1913, Tuskegee, Alabama, U.S.—died October 24, 2005, Detroit, Michigan) was an American civil rights activist whose refusal to relinquish her seat on a public bus precipitated the 1955–56 Montgomery bus boycott in Alabama, which became the spark that ignited the civil rights movement in the United States. Students will analyze Rosa Parks' evolving activism during the Black Freedom Movement using primary source sets created from the Library of Congress exhibit "Rosa Parks: In Her Own Words.” Students will use the evolving hypothesis strategy to answer the focus question. In 2019 The WaterFire Arts Center became the new home for the Wheeler School’s Cityside at Wheeler interdisciplinary learning program. Cityside is embedded in Providence’s 25 neighborhoods, working with various NGOs, non-profit organizations, community groups, and branches of government to provide a rich curriculum for project-based learning, inquiry, and research.
