Rivers of Change is a film to herald the untold stories of women who fought
discrimination and segregation in the United States of America and how their
collective efforts changed a nation and impacted the world. It is the story of
a 102 year legal battle that culminated in Montgomery, Alabama in 1956 when
their actions brought an end to segregated seating on intra-city buses and the
Montgomery Bus Boycott. Their action signaled the beginning of the modern day
Black Civil Rights Movement, and ultimately ensured the inalienable rights of
all Americans. The documentarys Producer/Writer/Director; William
Dickerson-Waheed will lead a discussion about Social Activism after the
screening. Open to the Public
