Join us Thurs., Jan. 21 at 7 p.m. in the Black Box Theater (bottom floor of the 4000 bldg.) for “Civil Rights and the Movies,” a discussion of how the topic of civil rights is portrayed in film globally. This FREE event is brought to you by the Global Affairs Center.
How are civil rights portrayed in films around the world? Does “civil rights” mean the same thing in Asia, the Middle East and Europe, as it does in the United States? How have movies been a platform in other countries and regions for raising awareness of and advocating civil rights?
Join us for a discussion of Civil Rights and the Movies, with:
• Chris Fisher, Drama/Cinema Department, Shoreline Community College
• Duygu Erdogan Monson, Turkish Actor, and Drama/Cinema Department, Shoreline Community College
• William Lindenmuth, SCC Philosophy (Moderator)

Our Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration continues with a Rally Discussion & Debrief followed by a showing of the film Selma.
Join the Multicultural Center at 12:30 p.m. in the PUB 9208 for an informal discussion reflecting on the MLK day march and the power of demonstrations. Come on by even if you didn’t attend the march – there’s always something you can take away from the discussion!
Then stick around until 1:30 p.m. for a free showing of the acclaimed movie Selma, which chronicles King’s march from Selma to Montgomery to push for the signing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
