Monday, January 20th has two important events in the USA occurring. It’s the day we celebrate one of our greatest civil rights leaders, Dr, Martin Luther King.
It’s also the day the greatest threat to our civil rights gets installed as the leader of our nation.
The Reel and Meal will present short films on both topics.
Just Another Bombing: Donal and Iona’s Story screened at the Utopia Film Festival and introduced us to Donal and Iona, who in 1964 were two children whose home was destroyed by the Ku Klux Klan.
Two PBS films illuminate the 900 page Project 2025 handbook that Kamala Harris told us: “Project 2025 is a 900-page how-to manual to help Donald Trump rip away our freedoms and hurt the middle class”
We see the fight for our rights clearly on the horizon and in what we had hoped was the rear view mirror. These films help light the way.
This always free program starts at 7pm and is available live and on Zoom. Pre-Registration is required for Zoom attendees.
