Join the Rockford Public Library at the Nordlof Center for a free screening and discussion of "Teach Us All"
Sixty years after the Little Rock Nine faced violent resistance when desegregating Central High in Arkansas, America’s schools continue to represent the key battleground of the Civil Rights Movement. Teach Us All demonstrates powerful lessons from history within a timely context, emphasizing the need for unity and collective action to rectify the disparities among America’s children. The Teach Us All social justice campaign seeks to build the capacity of students and educators to take leadership in carrying forth the legacy of the Little Rock Nine while activating broader community engagement in today’s urgent need for educational equity. Teach Us All is written and directed by Sonia Lowman.
A panel discussion moderated by Tony Turner will follow the screening; panelists include Rockford teachers Mustafa Abdall and Yahcolyah Muhammad.
Seating is limited to 50 to maintain social distancing; registration is required.
Doors open at 6 PM.
The Racial Justice Film Screening and Discussion is part of RPL's Anti-Racism Initiative.
