Tomorrow’s World Club
About this episode
This episode discusses the Tomorrow World’s Club, a pioneering youth activism project in Omaha that documented systemic racism and influenced future civil rights efforts.
Started in 1940, the Tomorrow World’s Club was a pioneering youth activism project. While adult civil rights organizations in Omaha were focused on politics, this youth-led groups researched and documented systemic racism across the city. Their bold campaigns laid the foundation for future civil rights victories and influenced youth for a quarter century afterwards!
