Join the Center for Civic Justice, the Office of Diversity, Intercultural, and Community Engagement, in collaboration with the History Club for a Black History Month Watch Party of the 2020 film John Lewis: Good Trouble, an intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy, Alabama, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round-trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17, 2020.  The film explores Georgia representatives', 60-plus years of social activism and legislative action on civil rights, voting rights, gun control, health care reform, and immigration.

The first 50 students get a FREE Dinner Box featuring a Black History Month special menu and giveaways.
