SUMMARY:Bayard Rustin Day 2025: Ready to Meet the Moment
DESCRIPTION:Join us at St. Mark United Methodist Church on Saturday\, March 15\, from 2:00-4:00 PM\, for our second annual Bayard Rustin Day\, a cross-generational celebration of the legacy of civil rights icon and architect of the March on Washington\, Bayard Rustin\, who is featured at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights.  \nThe critically acclaimed 2024 Netflix film “Rustin\,” which received 13 wins and 66 award nominations\, brought visibility and recognition to Bayard Rustin\, a celebrated icon of the US Civil Rights movement who is featured at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights.  \nJust two days before Bayard Rustin’s birth (March 17\, 1912)\, the LGBTQ+ Institute at NCCHR will celebrate its second annual Bayard Rustin Day\, honoring the man who mobilized collective action for civil rights. Themed “Ready to Meet the Moment\,” the day will address what it means to be angelic troublemakers in light of attacks on the LGBTQ+ community\, specifically trans and non-binary young people.  \nThe day will include contributions from youth poets and a panel dedicated to addressing how we show up for trans and non-binary community members\, followed by a fireside chat featuring Dr. Terence Lester on “Coming Out As an Ally.”

SUMMARY:Whatever Dreams They Had: Film Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join Atlanta History Center and the National Center for Civil and Human Rights for a film screening and panel discussion on filmmaker Stephanie Ayanian’s newest work\, Whatever Dreams They Had. Admission is complimentary\, but reservations are required. \nThis screening will take place in Kennedy Theatre inside of Atlanta History Center. Please use the front entrance to access the screening. \n  \nAbout the film: Whatever Dreams They Had \nImmigrants and refugees escaping the atrocities in Syria often arrive in America with no support and little knowledge of how to navigate the complex systems in a foreign\, English-speaking country. A tiny fraction in Los Angeles are lucky enough to meet an Armenian-Catholic priest named Father Armenag. An immigrant himself\, he is troubled by memories of the family members he lost to ISIS\, and quietly carries his grief as he tirelessly works to aid new arrivals and secure their lives in America. \n  \nAbout the filmmakers: \n Stephanie Ayanian is the producer and co-director of “Whatever Dreams They Had.” Her feature documentary “What Will Become of Us” was broadcast on PBS stations across the country and in film festivals\, including the Black Maria Film Festival. It follows Armenian Americans as they navigate the 100th Anniversary of the Genocide and strive to forge identities for the next century. Her films have been Official Selections of Munich International\, Seattle International\, Napa Valley\, and Slamdance film festivals. \n  \nJoseph Myers co-directed “Whatever Dreams They Had.” His body of documentary film work covers topics including domestic violence\, human rights law\, cultural survival\, and sustainability. Joe’s work has been seen on PBS\, WORLD\, NETA\, APT\, and the Discovery Networks among others. Some honors include Mid-Atlantic National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Emmy awards\, festival awards\, and multiple selections for the INPUT international public television meeting. Joe is a fellow of the CPB/PBS Producer’s Academy. He also works as a storytelling consultant to lawyers and is an accomplished inventor and product designer. Joe believes that good stories change people.

SUMMARY:Cup of Truth: A Conversation on Joy Goddess
DESCRIPTION:A live conversation with author A’Lelia Bundles about her new book | Re-Opening Weekend \nCelebrate the return of the National Center for Civil and Human Rights with Cup of Truth\, featuring journalist and author A’Lelia Bundles in conversation about her new book Joy Goddess: A’Lelia Walker and the Harlem Renaissance. \nBundles brings to life her great-grandmother A’Lelia Walker — daughter of Madam C. J. Walker and a dazzling force of the 1920s Harlem Renaissance. Dubbed the “joy goddess of Harlem” by Langston Hughes\, Walker inherited her mother’s empire and transformed it into a cultural salon for legends like Zora Neale Hurston\, Paul Robeson\, and W. E. B. Du Bois. \nThis is more than a biography. It’s a story of joy as resistance\, legacy as power\, and one woman’s quest to define herself on her own terms. \nIncluded with museum admission. Held in the Shirley Clarke Franklin Pavilion. \n

SUMMARY:Cup of Truth: Courts of Justice with Author Pete Babcock
DESCRIPTION:The National Center for Civil and Human Rights invites guests to participate in a timely conversation on leadership\, justice\, and the responsibilities that accompany visibility.  \nFollowing decades of experience as an NBA executive with the Atlanta Hawks\, San Diego Clippers\, and Denver Nuggets\, author Pete Babcock offers a behind-the-scenes perspective on how athletes\, institutions\, and movements intersect. His story extends beyond the game\, exploring relationships with civil rights leaders such as John Lewis and his work helping players leverage their influence to drive meaningful change in their communities. Courts of Justice challenges the comfortable assumption that professional sports exist apart from society.  \nJoin us for an engaging evening of dialogue\, reflection\, and insight\, one that asks not only what justice looks like\, but who has the power to shape it. A discussion\, audience Q&A\, and a book signing with Pete Babcock will follow the talk.  \nThe Center is located at 100 Ivan Allen Jr. Blvd.\, between the Georgia Aquarium and World of Coca-Cola.  \nDoors open at 6pm. Located in the Shirley Clarke Franklin Pavilion at the Center.
