Film and Discussion: Passage at St. Augustine
Wednesday, January 16, 2019 @ 7:00 pm
$10The award-winning “Passage at St. Augustine” documents an event in a southern town that divided the community along racial lines, generating national and international news, and ultimately effecting change. The hour-long film is about the bloodiest campaign of the Civil Rights Movement that unwittingly leveraged the passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, outlawing Jim Crow segregation from coast to coast.
After the screening, filmmaker Clennon L. King will engage the audience in a discussion of the history, impact, and legacy of race in the narrative just seen, and in the here and now. King is an Emmy-nominated journalist, historian, and documentary filmmaker with 30-plus years of experience in visual storytelling. He speaks nationally on the history, legacy, and impact of race in America.
Free admission for RH&SQ members, $10 for non-members.
