The Our Image Film and Arts Festival presents its Monthly Screening Series and Networking Mixer this month featuring The Strange Demise of Jim Crow.
Not all the civil rights victories of the '60s were won at the cost of beatings and mass arrests. "The Strange Demise of Jim Crow" reveals how Houston was desegregated in a quieter, stealthy fashion with behind-the-scenes negotiations and secret deals. Houston students, led by Texas Southern law student Eldreway Stearns launched sit-ins and boycotts of downtown stores. A group of older black business leaders secretly financed the students and opened quiet discussions with Houston's powerful old-time political "fixer," Bob Dundas. Dundas recognized the inevitable: either Houston would desegregate voluntarily now or involuntarily later.
Come out and watch this riveting documentary on events that helped shape Houston into the city that it is today.
