College will host a library forum entitled No Justice, No Peace
at 7:30pm, November 7, as part of the 9/11 Remembrance. No
Justice, No Peace is a 48-minute color video produced and
directed by Lynn Estomin, Chair of the Art Department at Lycoming.
It examines the worldviews and strategies for social change of four
young organizers from Cincinnati, Ohio in the wake of civil unrest
in Cincinnati, September 11, and escalating violence in the Middle
East.
No Justice, No Peace
offers a window into the world of today's politically active youth.
It presents portraits of four Ohio college students who are active
in a variety of issues including the fight for equal education,
affirmative action, affordable housing, civil liberties, and women's
rights; an end to racial profiling and police brutality; and the
Israeli-Palestine conflict. While all four share a passion for
justice and equality, their perspectives, strategies and tactics
differ - offering the audience a look at the complexity of youth
activism in the new millennium.
"No Justice, No Peace is the most
inspiring film I’ve seen about Social Activism in years,"
said Dr. Robin Kelly, Professor of History and African Studies, NYU,
and author of Freedom Dreams and Race
Rebels
