Your hosts for the evening will include a dedicated team of distinguished academics, researchers, designers, and writers:

The event will commence with brief introductions from David Frank, Joie Little, and Sherri Jones introducing The March project and set the stage for the rest of the afternoon.

Franny Gaede will offer a brief reflection on the importance of digital scholarship and exhibits, providing a modern perspective on this historical narrative. Kate Conley, Mandi Garcia, and Linda Long will give us a peek into the making of the new physical exhibit for The March and the role of the university's archival collections.

We will have the pleasure of screening The March in its entirety, a 30 minute film carefully restored by the National Archives.

Following the screening, Dr. Dan Miller, a renowned scholar of civil rights films, will share his reflections on The March and its place in the realm of civil rights cinema. His comments will provide a unique lens through which to view and appreciate this significant documentary.

Moreover, we're excited to have Dr. Miller's students from his Human Rights and Cinema class join us. They will have the opportunity to discuss the film and share their evolving understanding and appreciation of civil rights documentaries.

This event promises to be an enriching academic experience, blending history, cinema, and exhibits physical and digital. We hope to see you there for an afternoon of learning, discussion, and reflection on an important chapter of civil rights history.
