About this event

The Frederick Douglass Center for Leadership Through the Humanities in collaboration with the Department of African American and Africana Studies and the University of Maryland Humanities Initiative are hosting a free screening of LOWNDES COUNTY AND THE ROAD TO BLACK POWER followed by a Q&A with SNCC activists. 

Through first person accounts and searing archival footage, LOWNDES COUNTY AND THE ROAD TO BLACK POWER tells the story of the local movement and young Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) organizers who fought not just for voting rights, but for Black Power in Lowndes County, Alabama.

Breakfast will begin at 10am and a concluding lunch will be provided.
