Please join us for a dialogue and showing of the film Selma at the Little Theatre, 240 East Avenue, on February 5, 2015. There will be a pre-film chat at 6:00 P.M., followed by the film, and then a post-film chat at 8:30 P.M. The film chronicles the tumultuous three–month period in 1965, when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led a dangerous campaign to secure equal voting rights in the face of violent opposition. The epic march from Selma to Montgomery culminated in President Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965, one of the most significant victories for the civil rights movement. SELMA tells the real story of how the revered leader and visionary, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and his brothers and sisters in the movement prompted change that forever altered history.
Tickets are $5.00 for students and guests who RSVP to Professor Verdis Robinson (HYPERLINK "
