Great Film and More Series in Livingston County February-April
by Ceci Marlow 30 Jan '14

30 Jan '14

Cromaine is the fortunate recipient of the Created Equal grant of a film series--just off M-59. The last of the series of films, Freedom Riders, dovetails with the opening of a Smithsonian exhibit by the same name at the Community Unitarian Universalist of Brighton--just off I-96. Please consider and if you'd like a poster for your patrons, let us know--we're happy to send you one! Ceci Marlow To introduce four documentaries with riveting new footage illustrating the history of civil rights in America, Cromaine District Library will offer a series of screenings and lectures centered around the films: *The Abolitionists, Slavery by Another Name*,*The Loving Story*, and *Freedom Riders*. *Created Equal: America's Civil Rights Struggle *is an initiative of the National Endowment for the Humanities that uses the power of documentary films to encourage community discussion of America's civil rights history. NEH has partnered with the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History to develop programmatic and support materials for the sites. Cromaine Library is one of 473 institutions across the country awarded a set of four films chronicling the history of the Civil Rights Movement. The powerful documentaries,*The Abolitionists, Slavery by Another Name*, *The Loving Story*, and*Freedom Riders*, include dramatic scenes of incidents in the 150-year effort to achieve equal rights for all. *Freedom Riders *received an Emmy in 2012, and *The Loving Story *and *The Abolitionists *have been nominated for Emmys in 2013. "These films chronicle the long and sometimes violent effort to achieve the rights enumerated in the Declaration of Independence--life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness--for all Americans," said [local host]. "We are pleased to receive a grant from NEH to provide programming around these films." Each of the films was produced with NEH support, and each tells remarkable stories of individuals who challenged the social and legal status quo of deeply rooted institutions, from slavery to segregation. *Created Equal *programs bring communities together to revisit our shared history and help bridge deep racial and cultural divides in American civic life. Visitwww.createdequal.neh.gov for more information. Visit www.cromaine.org for program information and sign up. The *Created Equal *film set and public programs have been made possible by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, as part of its *Bridging Cultures *initiative, in partnership with the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History. *About the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History* Founded in 1994, the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History is a nonprofit organization that promotes excellence in the teaching and learning of American history. Programs include publications, teacher seminars, a national Affiliate School Program, traveling exhibitions, and online materials for teachers, students, and the general public.
