St. John’s Racial Justice and Equity Committee is excited to host a screening of the award-winning documentary, Ain’t No Back to a Merry-Go-Round, and a panel discussion with the filmmaker, Ilana Trachtman, and a local activist featured in the film.

Ain’t No Back to a Merry-Go-Round is the untold story of one of the first organized interracial civil rights protests in U.S. history when five black students partnered with local Jewish activists in protesting the segregation of Glen Echo Amusement Park.

The screening is free, but please register at eventbrite.com because we anticipate a full house.
