Dinner, film, and discussion to celebrate National Women's History Month at Meadville Council on the Arts on March 29

Meadville, PA -- As a celebration of National Women's History month, and our continued community education efforts, Film 4 Thought offers "Dolores" (2017) on Thursday, March 29th, 2018 6:30 PM at Meadville Council on the Arts, 910 Market Street, Meadville PA.

"Dolores Huerta is among the most important, yet least known, activists in American history. An equal partner in co-founding the first farm workers unions with Cesar Chavez, her enormous contributions have gone largely unrecognized. Dolores tirelessly led the fight for racial and labor justice alongside Chavez, becoming one of the most defiant feminists of the twentieth century--and she continues the fight to this day, at 87. With intimate and unprecedented access to this intensely private mother to eleven, the film reveals the raw, personal stakes involved in committing one's life to social change. Directed by Peter Bratt" (Not rated. 95 minutes)

A potluck is offered before the film at the Unitarian Unversalist Church on Diamond Park. Donations are welcomed. Discussion to follow film.
