December Black History Film Series – Brick By Brick: A Civil Rights Story

The doors to The Little Carver open at 5:30pm, and the film begins at 6pm.

“BRICK BY BRICK: A CIVIL RIGHTS STORY” shows that segregation has been as virulent and persistent in the North as in the South and that it too has resulted from deliberate public policies based in deep-rooted racial prejudice. The film uses the bitter struggle over equal housing rights in Yonkers, New York during the1980s to show the “massive resistance” the Civil Rights Movement confronted when it moved north. Brick by Brick is not only a brilliant legal history of one of the most important cases in civil rights law, it narrates through the passionate experiences of Yonkers residents on both sides of the issue.

Immediately following the film, join us for the lively panel discussion. Brought to you in part by Humanities Texas.
