"Selma"

Black History Month film showing

Selma focuses on the efforts of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the people of Selma, Alabama to secure voting rights for African Americans in 1965.

"From the Oscar-winning producers of 12 Years a Slave and acclaimed director Ava DuVernay comes the true story of courage and hope that changed the world forever. Golden Globe nominee David Oyelowo shines as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who rallied his followers on the historic march from Selma to Montgomery in the face of violent opposition, an event that became a milestone victory for the civil rights movement. Oscar nominees Oprah Winfrey and Tom Wilkinson also star in this landmark film." - Kanopy
