Disappeared In America Movement Call

Ain't No Back to a Merry-Go-Round: Film Screening and Workers Circle Q&A
Five Black students rode a segregated carousel in 1960, igniting one of the earliest organized interracial civil rights protest in US history. Ain’t No Back to a Merry-Go-Round is the untold story of the Jews they marched with, the Nazis they provoked, the Congressmen they inspired, and Civil Rights leaders they became. The Workers Circle plays an important role in this award-winning film. Join us at the IFC Center for a screening to be followed with a Q/A featuring filmmaker Ilana Tractman, Workers Circle CEO Ann Toback, and activist Rev. Mark A. Thompson, moderated by justice advocate Joan Grangenois-Thomas.
