PROGRAM

(6:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.)
Screening of July '64--and post-show dialogue with the documentary's director, Carvin Eison

July '64 tells the story of a historic three-day race riot that erupted in two African American neighborhoods in the northern, mid-sized city of Rochester, New York. On the night of July 24, 1964, frustration and resentment brought on by institutional racism, overcrowding, lack of job opportunity and police dog attacks exploded in racial violence that brought Rochester to its knees. -PBS Independent Lens
