In 1964, St. Augustine, Florida became a civil rights battleground when protesters demonstrated to demand the integration of a hotel swimming pool. Featuring rare archival footage, Dare Not Walk Alone examines the circumstances surrounding this landmark event, which helped lead to the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as well as its repercussions to this day. Nominated for the 2009 NAACP Image Award for outstanding documentary. (2006, 85 min. No MPAA rating.)
Presented in association with the exhibition Road to Freedom: Photographs of the Civil Rights Movement, 1956-1968.
Filmmaker Jeremy Dean will introduce the screening and lead a post-screening conversation with the audience.
