About this Event

Welcome to Ain't No Back to a Merry-Go-Round!

Come join us at Westchester Community College for a screening and discussion of AIN’T NO BACK TO A MERRY-GO-ROUND, the untold story of the first organized interracial civil rights protest in U.S. history. When 5 Howard University students sat on a Maryland carousel in 1960, the arrests made headlines. When the white community near Glen Echo Amusement Park joined the Black students in picketing, an extraordinary history-making partnership was born. Ten 1961 Freedom Riders, including Stokely Carmichael, were incubated on the Glen Echo picket line, and the carousel arrests were challenged in the Supreme Court case.
