I Am Somebody (1970) Directed by Madeline Anderson with Lecture by the filmmaker

Madeline Anderson is scheduled to present a lecture after the film. (16mm. 28 min. Not Rated.)

Boycott (2001) Directed by Clark Johnson
Saturday - January 19 - 9:30 p.m. In 1955, Rosa Parks dared to take an empty seat in the “Whites Only” section on a city bus in Montgomery, AL.

Naming Dr. King its president, the Montgomery Improvement Association successfully brought the black community together in one of the first major organized, grass-roots battles against segregation and racism in the 1950s. Boycott dramatizes the events of the Montgomery bus boycott, weaving vintage newsreel footage with scenes depicting the public and private dramas involved in the protests. Special thanks to HBO Films. (HD Cam. 118 min. Rated PG.)
