MARCH 2 Brown v Board and the SFUSD Consent Decree
Film: With All Deliberate Speed (excerpts, 2004) History ignored is history repeated. In the case of Brown Vs. Board of Education that the concept of "separate but equal" school segregation was unconstitutional. But in this landmark ruling, the Justices used a four-word phrase that many believe has delayed the process of change for over 50 years: "With All Deliberate Speed."
Guest Speakers: SFUSD parent Kim-Shree Maufas and SFSU professor and SFUSD board
commissioner Eric Mar

MARCH 9 Black Labor History: the politics of divide and conquer
Film: Struggles in Steel (58 min, 1996) Struggles in Steel documents the shameful history of
discrimination against black workers and one heroic campaign where they won equality on the
job.Interviews with more than 70 retired black steelworkers tell heart-rending tales of struggles with the
company, the union and white co-workers to break out of the black job ghetto.
Guest Speaker: To Be Determined

MARCH 16 Direct Action: key concepts
Film: A Force more Powerful (Nashville selection, 30 minutes, 2000). In the 1960s, Gandhi’s
nonviolent weapons were taken up by black college students in Nashville, Tennessee. Disciplined and strictly nonviolent, they successfully desegregated Nashville’s downtown lunch counters in five months, becoming a model for the entire civil rights movement.
Guest Speaker: Civil Rights Movement veteran Bruce Hartford (CORE, SCLC 1963-67,
Alabama, Mississippi)

MARCH 23 Local leadership: mobilizing a community for social, political & economic action
Film: Standing on my Sisters’ Shoulders, (60 min, 2002)Most of us have never heard of Fannie Lou Hamer, Annie Devine, Unita Blackwell, Mae Bertha Carter, or Victoria Gray Adams. But in a state where lynching of black males was the highest in the nation, a unique opportunity for women emerged to become activists in the movement.
Guest Speakers: Civil Rights Movement veteran and song leader Wazir Peacock (SNCC, Mississippi & Alabama), Civil Rights and Womens’ Movement veteran and Chude Allen (Freedom Summer, Mississippi)
