ABOUT THE FILM
Born in 1929, civil rights activist Alice Tregay was best
known for fighting segregation in Chicago schools. She marched with Dr. Martin
Luther King in the 1960s to improve educational opportunities for blacks. She
directed local and national voter registration campaigns under Operation
Breadbasket, which worked to improve job opportunities for African Americans.
In the 1990s, she marched in Washington D.C. to demand that Congress and the
White House create jobs.
She received many prestigious awards for her outstanding
work in civil rights and community service, most notably one presented in March
of 2004 by young Illinois State Senator Barack Obama, who would become the 44th
President of the United States and the first African American to hold that
office.
The screening will take place at the Carroll County Arts
Center, 91 West Main Street, Westminster, MD. A Celebrating America program.
