The Office of Equity and Human Rights and the Iowa City Public Library (ICPL) will host a community screening of The Road to Justice to recognize National Day of Racial Healing, on Tuesday, Jan. 16, 2024. The event will take place from 6-7:30 p.m. in ICPL Meeting Room A. The screening will be followed by a facilitated discussion lead by Dr. Negus Sankofa Imhotep.

The Road to Justice

The Road to Justice follows two groups on a civil rights tour through the American South as they reckon with our painful legacy of racial injustice. The first, a group of predominantly Black middle school students from Chicago: and the second, a group of older Americans who lived through the 1960s Civil Rights era. They come face-to-face with the leaders and everyday heroes whose courage and perseverance paved the way for future generations.
