Revolution '67

Madison Public Library presents award-winning documentary "Revolution '67."   The filmmakers, Marylou and Jerome Bongiorno will be there to answer questions following the film.   "Revolution '67" focuses on the uprisings in Newark in the summer of 1967.  The film reveals how the disturbances began as spontaneous revolts against poverty and police brutality and ended as fateful milestones in America's struggles over race and economic justice. Voices from across the spectrum - activists Tom Hayden and Amiri Baraka, journalist Bob Herbert, Mayor Sharpe James, and other officials, National Guardsmen and Newark citizens - recall lessons as hard-earned then as they have been easy to neglect since.
