Elizabeth Peratrovich Day Film Screening

The Cama'i Club invites the community to a viewing of "For the Rights of All: Ending Jim Crow in Alaska" Monday, February 17 at noon in the Alutiiq Studies Room, Campus Center 212 (upstairs).

"For the Rights of All: Ending Jim Crow in Alaska" tells the story of an extraordinary Alaskan woman who becomes an unforeseen hero in the fight for civil rights. Elizabeth Peratrovich–a young, unassuming Tlingit Indian mother of three–testified before the Alaska Territorial Senate in 1945 and swayed the floor vote with her compelling testimony in favor of the passage of the Anti-Discrimination Act, the first civil rights bill passed in the United States since the Civil War. 57 Minutes Long
