VIRTUAL SCREENING & DISCUSSION:
Reflections Unheard: Black Women in Civil Rights
A documentary film by Nevline Nnaji
Celebrate Women’s History Month with a viewing of the documentary film Reflections Unheard: Black Women in Civil Rights and an exclusive conversation with the director!
About the film:
Through the personal stories of several former black female Civil Rights activists, Reflections Unheard: Black Women in Civil Rights unearths the lesser-known story of black women’s political marginalization between the male-dominated Black Power movement, and the predominantly white and middle class Feminist movement during the 1960s and 70s, as well as the resulting mobilization of black and other women of color into a united Feminist movement.
Reflections Unheard is a feature length documentary, and the first of its kind to focus exclusively on black women’s contributions and experiences during the Civil Rights era.
Running Time: 81 min.
