The Charles Guggenheim Center for the Documentary Film at the National Archives will host a free public screening of a digitally restored version of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s 1994 Academy Award-winning documentary, A Time for Justice, Thursday, Sept. 22 at 7 p.m.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with civil rights activist Julian Bond and Southern Poverty Law Center president Richard Cohen, moderated by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Nick Kotz.
A Time for Justice captures the spirit of the civil rights movement through historical footage and the voices of those who participated in the struggle. Narrated by Bond, and featuring Rep. John Lewis, the 38-minute film recounts the movement’s most dramatic moments – the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the school crisis in Little Rock, Ark., the violence in Birmingham, Ala., and the triumphant 1965 march for voting rights.
