WILLIAM DICKERSON-WAHEED

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 documentary’s Producer/Writer/Director; William Dickerson-Waheed will lead a discussion about Social Activism after the screening. Open to the Public
