Two special screenings of AIN’T NO BACK TO A MERRY-GO-ROUND, a story of a protest by Howard University students at Glen Echo Amusement Park in the summer of 1960. Using just-discovered archival footage, and focusing on the stories of these individuals, viewers are transported to those heady days when private businesses could choose their customers, and the walls between Black and white were so high that friendships were unimaginable.

On April 25th, join Kensington’s Juneteenth founder Jaime Boston for a discussion after the film.

On April 30th, Avalon Theater will host a special showing (tickets required).
