MOBILE JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL: AIN’T NO BACK TO A MERRY GO ROUND

Jan 28th, 2025

The Mobile Jewish Film Festival presents “Ain’t No Back to a Merry Go Round” on Saturday, Jan. 28, 2025, at 7 p.m. at the Laidlaw Performing Arts Center. When five Howard University students sat on a segregated Maryland carousel in 1960, their arrests made headlines. When the largely Jewish community near Glen Echo Amusement Park joined the Black students in picketing, the first organized interracial civil rights protest in U.S. history was born.

Post film comments by  Dr Donald Shaffer, Director of African American Studies, Miss State University
