Joan Trumpauer Mulholland is an American civil rights icon who was extremely active in the 1960s. She was one of the Freedom Riders who was arrested in Jackson, Mississippi in 1961, and was confined for two months in the maximum security unit of the Mississippi State Penitentiary. She is also one of the protesters at the 1960 lunch counter sit-ins in Arlington and of the infamous Jackson Woolworth’s Sit-in of 1963.

You are invited to come out and hear the proclamation being read by one of the co-sponsors, Delegate Patrick Hope. In addition, three new, exciting historical pieces from Joan’s days during the Civil Rights Movement will be revealed and on exclusive display at the Black Heritage Museum of Arlington Virginia.
