What: Screening of “Alice’s Ordinary People”
When: 6:30 p.m. March 6
Where: Auburn Public Library, 49 Spring St.
AUBURN — Documentary and film producer Craig Dudnick will be at the Auburn Public Library at 6:30 p.m. Monday, March 6, for an exclusive viewing of “Alice’s Ordinary People.”
The documentary chronicles the contributions of Alice Tregay, whose life story reads like a history of the civil rights movement.
In 1966, Dr. Martin Luther King King came to Chicago where Alice and her husband, James Tregay, marched with him, often at great personal risk. At that time, King joined the Rev. Jesse Jackson and the Rev. James Bevel to form Operation Breadbasket. Under the leadership of Jackson, the months that Alice and her ordinary people spent picketing led to real change. But it was through her political education class, that she had her most significant impact.
The program is free and open to the public.
