"Unconstitutional: The War on Our Civil Liberties" - film showing
Wednesday, March 2, 2005
6-8pm
Honan-Allston Public Library

On Wednesday March 2, 2005 to mark the Massachusetts Bill of Rights Day sixty-six years after the Massachusetts state legislature finally ratified the Bill of Rights on March 2, 1939 the ACLU of Massachusetts is sponsoring a mass screening of the Robert Greenwald film "Unconstitutional: the War on Our Civil Liberties."

Boston Radical Reference with ACLU of Massachusetts has organized a showing on Wednesday, March 2, from 6 to 8pm at Honan-Allston Public Library, 300 North Harvard Street, Allston. John Bookston (ACLU of Massachusetts' Civil Liberties Task Force) will lead a discussion following the film. Call 617-787-6313 for directions and email radrefboston [at] riseup.net with any other questions.

Boston Radical Reference and Boston IMC present:

"Eyes on the Prize Part I: Awakenings 1954-1956," a public showing

On the evening of Tuesday, Feb. 8th, as part of Eyes on the Screen people nationwide will celebrate the struggle and triumph of the civil rights movement with a screening of "Eyes on the Prize Part I: Awakenings 1954-1956." Copyright restrictions have kept it from the public for the past 10 years.

A Radical Reference member called in and said the cops blocked the street at the Black Bloc march. Things were heating up so she and some others headed into a CVS by the NARA. A bit later when they tried to leave people were running by outside the store and CVS wouldn't let anyone else into the store "unless they look like republicans." Sounded a little haggard. She was concerned another Radical Reference member was caught up in the chaos since she couldn't reach her by cell phone.
