Official Twitter of @Kirwaninstitute's #DCIFF2017 award winning documentary film about a #civilrights journey of a community gaining access to opportunity.
There are many films & documentaries about the Civil Rights Mvt that can actually help us make sense of the present moment.
I wrote #TwoThumbsUp as a guide for what to watch & what to avoid. Here it is, with links.
Thanks @uwiscpress & @ZinnEdProject!

There is a much older, much less sexy piece of machinery that could be the key to making our cities more sustainable, more liveable, and more fair: the humble bus. Listen to @shigashide on @99piorg discuss his new book Better Buses, Better Cities https://t.co/i0hq1sBMCj
Today is the 106th birthday of civil rights activist, Rosa Parks. Parks became a prominent face of the civil rights movement after she was arrested and fined for refusing to give up her seat at the front of a bus to a white passenger in Montgomery, Alabama on Dec. 1, 1955.

Because of the effects of housing segregation, transportation remains a critical link to opportunity, especially for folks striving to get out of homelessness or poverty. #HousingOhio18 https://t.co/MZ7oY1FzSW
Dec. 1st, 1955: 42-year-old Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat for a white man on a Montgomery bus.
“People always say that I didn’t give up my seat because I was tired... but that isn’t true. I was not tired physically… No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in”
