FRI OCT 11 AND OCT 25, 3:00 PM
Film Screening: Reading Freedom Summer

RCCAM presents an auditorium screening of Reading Freedom Summer (2019, 31 mins) directed by Andy Rice, Assistant Professor of Media, Communication and Film Studies at Miami University in collaboration with students and community members. Reading Freedom Summer is a reflection on youth, risk, and activism through intergenerational reading and reflections on letters written by the 1964 Civil Rights Movement volunteers who were trained in Oxford to participate in voter registration and education initiatives in Mississippi, a campaign subsequently named Freedom Summer. This film will be screened again on October 25, 3:00 PM. 

Attendees are encouraged to view the film in our Auditorium, see the special exhibition Through Their Lens: Photographing Freedom Summer, and visit the Freedom Summer ‘64 Memorial located nearby on Western Campus. No pre-registration necessary.
