The February 26, 1987 West Chester Area School District program “Civil Rights: Past, Present and Future” scheduled Rosa Parks, Fred D. Gray, and Martin Luther King III at East Senior High (7:15 prelude / 7:30 program). A later local NAACP chronology says the event occurred and lists all three as keynote speakers; that retrospective claim is stronger than the program alone but has no identified eyewitness source in the packet. Parks’s scheduled award handover and speech text remain unverified.

Finding #74 sits in the late-1980s education-and-commemoration cluster with Hartford Weaver High 1988 (#71) and Coggins States Rally 1988 (#73). Printed plans document intention and local prestige; attendance and spoken words still require independent corroboration.
