A showing of the documentary and discussion with director Craig Dudnick.

Alice Tregay’s story is one of ordinary people affecting extraordinary change for human rights. Alice’s life story reads like a history of the movement.  In 1966, Dr. King came to Chicago. Alice and her husband James Tregay marched with him, often at great personal risk. It was at this time that Dr. King joined the Reverend Jesse Jackson and the Reverend James Bevel to fight racism and create jobs for African Americans.  Under the leadership of Reverend Jackson, Alice and her “ordinary people” picketed for the rights of African American workers, but it was through her Political Education class that Alice had her most significant impact.

Join us for a showing of the documentary that shares this incredible story followed by a discussion lead by director Craig Dudnick.
