In 1969, the Chicago Black Panther Party formed alliances across ethnic and racial lines with other community-based movements in the city, including Latino group the Young Lords and southern whites the Young Patriots. Banding together in one of postwar America’s most segregated cities to confront issues like police brutality and substandard housing, they called themselves the Rainbow Coalition. Join the Meaningful Movies Project for a screening and community conversation of “The First Rainbow Coalition.” Watch the film with other Meaningful Movies Project attendees, followed by an online community conversation immediately after the film. Presented by Mt Baker Meaningful Movies. More info: https://www.facebook.com/events/446165613440348
