SCREENING
THE MARCH ON WASHINGTON: KEEPERS OF THE DREAM
(2021 | 46m)
THE MARCH ON WASHINGTON: KEEPERS OF THE DREAM traces the Civil Rights Movement from the 1963 March on Washington to the summer of 2020, focusing on anti-Black violence motivating decades of activism. This historical context places a new perspective on Dr. King’s statement that the future of the Civil Rights Movement would be the struggle for genuine equality, a much more difficult struggle.
