A Civil Rights Film Series is being presented by Houston Public Library's African American Library at the Gregory School every Saturday in May at 3 p.m. This film series is part of an educational initiative "Freedom Now: Houston Retraces the Civil Rights Movement."
These films will give viewers an insight into the struggles, emotions and inspirations of African Americans who helped to reshape American history. The African American Library at the Gregory School is located at 1300 Victor Street in Freedmen’s Town, Fourth Ward.
The library also invites the community to view its photography exhibit, “The Whole World Was Watching” which chronicles a crucial period in American social and political history showing both the struggle and victories of those fighting for Civil Rights in the 1960s.
Poignant and deeply profound, the photographs in this exhibition portray historical turning points such as the Freedom Rides to the Deep South, the March on Washington and the Selma-to-Montgomery March. The exhibit features 44 images by six photographers and is on display now through August 20.
The film presentations and the photography exhibit are and open to the public. For more details please visit www.thegregoryschool.org or call 832-393-1440.
