From Montgomery to Ferguson:
the fight for civil rights goes on

Friday, Dec. 19, 7pm
2969 Mission St., SF

This month marks the 59th anniversary of Rosa Parks’s courageous refusal to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Ala., sparking the bus boycott that pushed the fight for Black civil rights to the forefront of the national consciousness. Come for a screening of “Awakenings,” the first segment of the award-winning documentary series “Eyes on the Prize” that covers the history of the Civil Rights Movement.

Before the screening, we will discuss the recent nationwide protests following the decisions not to indict Darren Wilson for the murder of Mike Brown in Ferguson, Mo., or Daniel Pantaleo for the murder of Eric Garner in New York City, and the connection between the beginnings of the Civil Rights Movement and our movement today.

2969 Mission St., btwn 25th and 26th Sts.
