  • Reconstruction Destructed Film & Community Conversation

    Zeitgeist Center for Arts & Community 222 E Superior St, Duluth, MN, United States

    To understand the challenges African Americans still face in being seen as full citizens in America today, it is important for us to understand the origin story of the path of formerly enslaved people becoming citizens. The past is not dead; it is not even really the past. This film, created with our movie production partner OMG Studios, features Federal Minnesota District Court Judge Jerry Blackwell, author of Just Mercy and prominent civil rights attorney Bryan Stevenson, Macalester University Professor Duchess Harris, and a cameo by Minnesota’s First Lady of Civil Rights, Dr. Josie Johnson. Free to attend, registration required. K-12 educators will receive 2 clock hours.
