Film Night "Reflections Unheard: Black Women In Civil Rights"

  • Northampton Recovery Center 25 Armory Street Northampton, MA, 01060 United States (map)

Reflections Unheard is a feature length documentary, and the first of its kind to focus exclusively on black women’s contributions and experiences during the Civil Rights era. The NRC is excited to host the showing of this film (which was created by one of our wonderful community members!) honoring black women in Civil Rights

Through the personal stories of several former black female Civil Rights activists, “Reflections Unheard: Black Women in Civil Rights” unearths the lesser-known story of black women’s political marginalization between the male-dominated Black Power movement, and the predominantly white and middle class Feminist movement during the 1960s and 70s, as well as the resulting mobilization of black and other women of color into a united Feminist movement.
