"Revolution '67" Free Film Screening
Free screening of Marylou
Tibaldo-Bongiorno's 2007 documentary, "Revolution '67." Revolution
'67 is an illuminating account of events too often relegated to
footnotes in U.S. history — the black urban rebellions of the 1960’s.
Focusing on the six-day Newark, N.J., outbreak in mid-July, Revolution
‘67 reveals how the disturbances began as spontaneous revolts against
poverty and police brutality and ended as fateful milestones in
America's struggles over race and economic justice. Voices from across
the spectrum — activists Tom Hayden and Amiri Baraka, journalist Bob
Herbert, Mayor Sharpe James, and other officials, National Guardsmen and
Newark citizens — recall lessons as hard-earned then as they have been
easy to neglect since. This event is a collaboration with POV, PBS'
award-winning nonfiction film series. NR, 90 MINUTES
