Join the Center for Student Diversity, Maryland Conference of the American Association of University Professors, and Towson University’s Cook Library for a film screening and panel discussion of the 2016 Pan-African Film Festival’s jury and audience award winner for best documentary, Agents of Change. This film begins from the well-publicized events at San Francisco State in 1968 to the image of black students with guns emerging from the takeover of the student union at Cornell University in April, 1969. It continues to the struggles of students today with the protest in and around Ferguson, Missouri and the nationwide student-led movement, including the I, Too, Am (Harvard, UCLA, Michigan, etc). Agents of Change links the past to the present and the present to the past--making it not just a movie but a movement. Director Abby Ginzberg will join community and campus activists for a rich dialogue immediately following the screening. For more information, please contact Anee Korme at akorme@towson.edu and visit http://www.agentsofchangefilm.com/ to learn more about the film.
