AIN'T NO BACK TO A MERRY-GO-ROUND
Documentary | Not Rated | 90 Minute Runtime
Five Black students rode a segregated carousel in 1960, igniting one of the earliest organized interracial civil rights protest in US history. "AIN'T NO BACK TO A MERRY-GO-ROUND" is the untold story of the Jews they marched with, Nazis they provoked, Congressmen they inspired, and Civil Rights leaders they became.
There will be a live speaker following the film. That speaker will be Erin Wiggins Gilliam, PhD, Associate Provost of Academic Affairs for Student Success and Strategic Initiatives & Dean of Graduate Studies at Edward Waters University.
