Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site and the Brown Foundation invited four Topeka elementary schools to the site on September 29, 2006. The students participated in a special one day event which helped to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month.
Grammy Award-winning jazz musician Carlos Martinez and jazz musicians displaced from New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina came to Topeka for a special workshop for students. The workshop included a discussion on the history of the Latin style of jazz, and opportunities for students to decorate their own percussion instruments, which they used to accompany Martinez and the band in concert.
