the documentary will be shown followed by a discussion. This is the first of
four films to be screened during 2014 as part of the Medford Public Library's
Created Equal grant, funded by the NEH and The Gilder Lehrman Institute of
American History. This screening is co-sponsored by the Medford Public Library
and the Medford Historical Society & Museum and part of the “Tracing Our
Faces”, a community project.
