America 250 Documentary Shorts
Tuesday, May 12, 6:30pm in the Oberlin Public Library Community Room
Join OHC in marking the 250th Anniversary of the United States through the premiere viewing of a series of mini documentaries produced by the Heritage Center. These short videos, ranging from 15-25 minutes each, highlight significant contributions Oberlin has made to national 19th century social movements and demonstrate the power of individual voices and actions. Learn about how the foundational roots of the community – both town and college – impacted and influenced ideas around universal education, abolition, Black American’s legal and voting rights, and women’s suffrage. Light refreshments will be provided by the Oberlin Public Library.
This project was partially funded by Trillium Grant through the America250-Ohio Commission.
