 The Long Walk to Freedom\n
 \n
 "...how 12 ordinary 
 people from different racial and economic 
 backgrounds came to accomplish deeds which changed 
 the face of the nation. Together with tens 
 of thousands of other Americans they joined 
 the Civil Rights Movement to protest racial 
 inequality, segregation, and discrimination 
 in the 1960s.The film demonstrates that the 
 struggle of civil rights, justice, and equality 
 is indeed a long walk - an ongoing challenge 
 requiring the participation of successive 
 generations. It shows how ordinary people can 
 get involved in social change."\n
 \n
 February 
 One\n
 "February One tells the inspiring story 
 of four remarkable young men who initiated the 
 lunch counter sit-ins in Greensboro, NC on 
 February 1, 1960. Based largely on first hand 
 accounts and rare archival footage, the film 
 documents one volatile winter in Greensboro 
 that not only challenged public accommodation 
 customs and law in North Carolina, but served 
 as a blueprint for the wave of non-violent 
 civil rights protests that swept across the South 
 and the nation throughout the 1960's."\n
 \n
 Social Injustice: Your Turn To Act, an exhibit 
 on student activism, will be on display in 
 the Main Library, 1st floor West, January 9 
 through February 29.\n\n
