Event Details

 

The Secaucus Public Library, in partnership with the New Jersey Council for the Humanities (NJCH), will host a screening and discussion of Revolution ’67.   Revolution ’67 recreates the six days in July 1967, when Newark, NJ experienced one of the most historic conflicts in recent U.S. history.

The screening and discussion will be hosted by MaryLou and Jerome Bongiorno, the directors of Revolution ’67, and Dr. Christina Collins, a Harvard postdoctoral fellow on education.

Revolution ’67, which has been broadcast on PBS’s award-winning series P.O.V. and has won several prestigious awards for documentary filmmaking, reconstructs the events that sparked the rebellion.  Archival footage and interviews with participants recreate what happened during those tumultuous times, while commentary by prominent historians place it in the context of 20th century urban development and African-American history. 
Please join us for this special evening.  Light refreshments will be served.
