Program Description

Event Details

Explore the life and legacy of Barbara Jordan in The Inquisitor.  Jordan was a groundbreaking Texas congresswoman whose sharp intellect and moral clarity transformed U.S. politics.  From Nixon's impeachment to civil rights battles, her voice demanded accountability, while she privately faced struggles few ever knew of.  A discussion with former Assemblywoman Sandra Galef and Tonya Thomas, Deputy Director from Black Public Media and one of the film's producers, will follow the viewing.  Victor Messick, educator and library film facilitator, will facilitate the discussion.
