Lincoln, Nebraska (February 18, 2025) – In a meaningful act of remembrance and respect, the Nebraska State Capitol will be illuminated in orange on Feb. 27th, 2025, to honor the survivors and descendants of the Genoa Industrial School. The date has been moved from February 20th to the 27th due to unsafe conditions for setting up the lighting at the Capitol.
The Nebraska Legislature passed LR 280 during the 107th Legislature’s Second Session designating Feb. 20, as the annual day of remembrance for those impacted by the Genoa Industrial School’s legacy.
