Catto’s Courage depicts the strength of Octavius Catto, a dedicated civil rights leader and desegregationist in post-Civil War Philadelphia. Catto was murdered on Election Day in 1871, one year after African Americans were constitutionally granted the right to vote with the ratification of the 15th Amendment. Through music and companion curriculum guides, students will intimately engage with his life and legacy.
