    Black Power at Ole Miss (Film)

    Katherine Aberle-Flores

    The documentary film “Black Power at Ole Miss" tells the stories of the nearly 90 African-American students who were arrested on February 25, 1970 following a peaceful protest outside Fulton Chapel. The screening of the film at the event commemorating the 50th anniversary of the arrest was followed by a staged reading of the hearings of the eight students who were expelled and a panel discussion moderated by Ralph Eubanks, visiting professor of Southern Studies, English and Honors.

    27 Demands: A Staged Reading, written and directed by Peter Wood

    After they were arrested following a peaceful protest at Fulton Chapel on February 25, 1970, members of the Black Student Union presented University Administration with a list of "27 demands" of things the University could do to be more inclusive of the African American community. In a dramatic reading of those 50-year-old demands, we see which ones were eventually met, and which ones are still needed.
