Summer Film Series: Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth and Civil Rights

BCRI x Sidewalk Cinema: Summer Film Series – Shuttlesworth
The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute is partnering with Sidewalk Film Center + Cinema for a Summer Film Series! We’re using film to spark honest conversation across generations, in hopes of moving us into action together.

We’re kicking things off with a screening of Shuttlesworth, a documentary that dives into the fearless leadership of Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth and his fight for civil rights in Birmingham.

After the film, stick around for a candid conversation on leadership—what it meant in the past, what it means now, and what it needs to become. The discussion will feature voices from across generations, each bringing their own perspectives and ideas of what leadership should look like to meet this moment.

Discussion participants include:

Raven Johnson, Steven Stafford, Marie Sutton, and Reverend Dr. Thomas L. Wilder, Jr.

Doors Open: 5:00 PM

Film Screening: 6:00–7:00 PM
Discussion: 7:00–8:00 PM
Location: Sidewalk Cinema

This event is free and open to the public. Come ready to learn, listen, and be part of the conversation!
