Freedom Summer Movie Screening, February 11

“Created Equal” is part of the Bridging Cultures initiative of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), produced in partnership with the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History to encourage public conversations about the changing meanings of freedom and equality in America.

To support this endeavor, the CPCC Library is sponsoring a showing of “Freedom Summer.” This film is supported by NEH, and tells the remarkable story of individuals who challenged the social and legal status quo of deeply rooted institutions.
