AKIN x Central Cinema

The Clinton 12 is a 2006 documentary by filmmaker Keith McDaniel that tells the story of the twelve African American teenagers who, in 1956, were the first to attend a newly desegregated all-white high school in Clinton, Tennessee. The film not only focuses on these brave teens, but shows how the community responded to the Supreme Court’s decision to desegregate schools following Brown vs. the Board of Education.

A short discussion will follow the screening; all our welcome to attend and contribute.

Ticket sales will go towards AKIN Community Support Fund, which delivers funds to families who have had loved ones impacted by ICE. Any additional donations are not required but extremely appreciated. You can Venmo additional donations to @weareakin.

Disclaimer: This documentary contains intense historical footage of racial slurs and physical violence.
