Black History Month Film Showing
Award Winning Documentary Freedom on My Mind Friday, February 24, 7:00 p.m. This feature length film brings to life the 1960-1965 Mississippi Voter Registration Project. The documentary tells the story of local sharecroppersled by women like Fannie Lou Hamerand young civil rights organizers, Black and white, who worked together to challenge the apartheid system in Mississippi. The betrayal of their demands for equality and political power at the 1964 Democratic Party Convention was a watershed event in the modern civil rights movement. Today, racist and xenophobic voter ID laws threaten 60s civil rights gains with a gateway to Jim Crow. An open mic will follow the film on how to regain and extend all human and civil rights. A Chili and Cornbread supper, with vegetarian, option will be served at 6:30 p.m. Film donation $3-$5, supper donation $8, (work exchanges available for low income). The program will be held at Solidarity Hall, 2122 W. Jefferson Bl., Los Angeles, off the 10 freeway at Arlington, on bus lines 38 and 209. Disabled accessible. Co-sponsored by the Freedom Socialist Party and Radical Women. For more information call 323-732-6416, email fs...@earthlink.net or visit www.socialism.com.
