About the Film:
When five Howard University students sat on a segregated Maryland carousel in 1960, the arrests made headlines. When the largely Jewish community near Glen Echo Amusement Park joined the Black students in picketing, the first organized interracial civil rights protest in US history was born. *Ticketing for this event is on a sliding scale "Pay What You Can" donation structure. SEATING IS LIMITED AS IS FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE. ARRIVE EARLY TO GUARANTEE SEATING.*

Are you eager to relive your youth by basking in the retro glow of outdated media formats? Are you curious about the video store era that you missed out on by being cursed with a late birth? Then join Jeremy Burgess of the Dust On The VCR newsletter for Tape Night, a free quarterly event where you'll get to witness an actual VHS tape projected onto the big screen in all its glory! The titles will remain a mystery until showtime, and the genres will rotate with every screening (check the graphic for hints!), but one thing's for certain: You won't find these classics in splendid low-definition anywhere else in town. *This is a FREE event and SEATING IS FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. *
