SUNDAY, MARCH 17, 2013, 2PM - DOCUMENTARY FILM SCREENING
DAISY BATES, FIRST LADY OF LITTLE ROCK (78 Min, 2010)

Daisy Bates, who led the charge to desegregate the all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, was a complex, unconventional, and largely forgotten heroine of the modern Civil Rights Movement.  With this documentary, Sharon La Cruise sets out to establish Ms. Bates' rightful place in history by showing the depth of her courage and commitment to social justice.  Q&A with a local community organizer follows.  RSVP preferred 213.744.2024.
