National Recognition Days:
Carole Robertson Memorial Day

Carole Robertson Memorial Day is observed and celebrated by the Dallas Chapter Annually and in
conjunction with the Jack and Jill Family Day Picnic. This year we hosted this event on September
15, 2019 at Winfrey Clubhouse in Dallas, TX at 2pm. A tribute to Carole Robertson was held with
participation from each grade group. The children presented and discussed the tragic events of
Carole’s death and its impact on the civil right movement. Key historical facts were shared with the
group as well as the requested video from the national office was viewed.

The event reminded all of the sacrifices made our freedoms and provided a historical review of the
significance of Carole’s death.
