Black History Month: speelfilm ‘Selma’
Selma tells the powerful story of Martin Luther King Jr.'s march on Montgomery, a turning point in the civil rights movement, and a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for equality and justice.
In this edition of Film & Book, Cinema Islemunda and Bibliotheek IJsselmonde show the American film Selma.
Black History Month, held every February, provides space for often forgotten stories of people of African descent and their impact on world history.
This month is not just about the stories of the past, but also about recognizing the current challenges facing Black communities.
The film Selma is a reminder of the struggle that changed the course of history forever—a struggle that remains relevant today. Powerful film adaptation of the 'march on Selma' from Martin Luther King's point of view. Selma tells the true story of the 1965 march from Selma to Montgomery, in which Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. resisted violent opposition to win equal voting rights. This historic event ultimately led to President Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act, a landmark moment in the civil rights movement.
