Sidewalk x BCRI Partnership Screening: Ain’t No Back on a Merry-Go-Round

Ilana Trachtman

To close out the 2025 Summer Film Series, the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute is proud to present Ain’t No Back to a Merry-Go-Round in partnership with the Harry B. Maring Community Enrichment Fund of the Birmingham Jewish Foundation. Join us before the film from 5pm - 6pm for Happy Hour and Intercommunity Networking before the film starts at 6:00pm. 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.*
