Docs and Dialogue: After Selma (Granville Branch)

Docs and Dialogue: After Selma (Granville Branch)

On March 7th, 1965, six hundred brave citizens marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, demanding the right to vote. They were met that Sunday morning with tear gas and brutal violence as law enforcement officers charged on horseback. Though that moment helped spur passage of the Voting Rights Act, efforts to suppress voting rights in America did not end, they evolved. In this powerful documentary, Emmy-winning filmmaker Loki Mulholland, civil rights veteran Joanne Blackmon Bland, and New York Times bestselling author Carol Anderson trace the long history of voter suppression and examine why confronting it remains essential to preserving democracy and equality for all. The film is 46 minutes, not rated, and made possible through Kanopy. The program is free and open to the public.
