Film Screening: Bridge to Freedom
About this Event
🎥✊💥 BRIDGE TO FREEDOM: LIBERATION FILM SCREENING
Join us for a screening and discussion of Bridge to Freedom (1965), from the acclaimed documentary series Eyes on the Prize on Friday 11/13, 6:30pm, at the @houstonliberationcenter.
We will be revisiting the historic 1965 Selma to Montgomery marches where thousands of organizers and activists confronted white supremacist violence in their struggle for Black voting rights, which ultimately paved the way for the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
The victories of the Civil Rights Movement were won through collective struggle, and its lessons are just as relevant today. More than six decades later, the struggle for our rights and political power continues as we see attempts by the Trump administration to roll back these hard-won civil rights protections. History shows us that rights are not simply handed down by those in power; they’re won through mass action and organized struggle of the people!
