Rosa Parks #68: North Las Vegas 1989 Ethnic Voices
A contemporary Clark County Community College mailing piece in the Rosa Parks papers identifies a proposed Parks lecture in the “Ethnic Voices” series at the CCCC Library, 3200 E. Cheyenne Avenue, North Las Vegas, on Thursday, February 23, 1989, at 7:30 p.m. Admission free, limited seating. Organizers: Clark County Community College and Nevada Humanities Committee, Inc., with partial Nevada Humanities grant support (state program of the NEH).
Primary evidence
- LOC Rosa Parks papers, 1989 events folder — mss85943.001914
- Original mailer leaf 12: IIIF tile
- Mailer shows college + committee logos, series title, Parks’s name, date, hour, library address, free-admission line, grant acknowledgment, bulk-rate panel. “NLV” and address panel “North Las Vegas, NV 89030” fix the municipality.
What this establishes — and what it does not
The mailer is advance publicity. It documents what was announced, not that Parks arrived, spoke, met an audience, or that any recording survives. It does not establish a UNLV campus appearance; the venue is the community-college library in North Las Vegas. The college’s later name (College of Southern Nevada) should not be substituted for the printed 1989 name.
Open: a dated post-February 23 campus newspaper, Nevada Humanities report, or local press account would be needed to establish occurrence and content. Sol reports no such retrospective in the targeted search; the original scan controls the reading.
Craft note held: state significance plainly; advertised roles ≠ attendance. Series continues Sol’s 1988–1992 cascade (#62 Phoenix · #63 MIA Cotton · #64 JSU · #65 Clark College · #66 San Diego Cox · #67 Michigan King · #68 NLV Ethnic Voices).
