Film Screening 2: John Lewis - Get in the Way
Join us as we celebrate the life and legacy of John Lewis and the importance of direct action.
The son of sharecroppers, John Lewis grew up in rural isolation, seemingly destined to a bleak, segregation-imposed future. But his fate took a different turn, and Lewis rose from Alabama’s Black Belt to the corridors of power on Capitol Hill, his humble origins forever linking him to those whose voices customarily go unheard. A man of the people, a Congressional elder statesman, Lewis was as exceptional as he was ordinary.
17 July will be the one-year anniversary of John Lewis's passing. In his honor, we will be screening the documentary John Lewis: Get in the Way. After the film, we will have a discussion.
The filmmaker, Kathleen Dowdey, will introduce her documentary at this screening.

She is also Faculty Advisor for Trojan Vision, the USC campus television station.
