This powerful documentary explores a missing chapter in our nation’s record of the Civil Rights movement. The film reveals the movement in Mississippi in the 1950s and 60s from the point of view of the courageous women who lived it – and emerged as its grassroots leaders. After the film, a discussion will be facilitated by Dr. La TaSha Levy, Assistant Professor in the American Ethnic Studies Department at the University of Washington.

Light refreshments provided.
