Black History Month Movie: SELMA

YDC celebrates Black History Month with two incredible movies about true heroes in American history. On February 8th, we will feature the film SELMA (PG-13) Although the Civil Rights Act of 1964 legally desegregated the  South, discrimination was still rampant in certain areas, making it very  difficult for blacks to register to vote. In 1965, an Alabama city  became the battleground in the fight for suffrage. Despite violent  opposition, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (David  Oyelowo) and his followers pressed forward on an epic march from Selma  to Montgomery, and their efforts culminated in President Lyndon Johnson  signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965. 

A talk back will be led by Judy Humbert after the movie.
