What's Up Doc?

Join us on four Saturday afternoons from 2 to 4PM starting January 10 and continuing through the 31st for a fascinating film series featuring documentaries on topics related to Human Rights when our Clinton Human Rights Committee moderates its 4th annual “What’s Up Doc?” series at the Henry Carter Hull Library. 

This week, we'll be viewing Becoming Frederick Douglass and An Outrage: The History and Legacy of Lynching in the South.

These compelling, often award-winning works take a deeper look at a variety of diverse contemporary subjects and historical events. Each film is followed by an audience discussion.

In previous years we have explored a wide range of stories including the threat from far-right extremist groups, the cultural bias that exists against fat people, America’s emotional connection to firearms, the famous 1920 trial and execution of Italian immigrant anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti, the troubling history of U.S housing policy, teen suicide on a Native Reservation, and the 400-year history of racism in America. There will be popcorn!
