Next Friday, November 20th, join the Lower Hudson Valley DSA Political Education Working Group for a screening of the first episode of the documentary series “The Peekskill Riots”. Stay after the screening for a discussion and Q&A with the director Jon Scott Bennett, sociologist and Peekskill native Joshua Dellacruz, youth activist CJ Branch, and local activists Darrell Davis and Julie Ruben.
The Peekskill Riots investigates the 1949 racially motivated violent attacks on attendees of Black civil rights revolutionary and singer Paul Robeson’s concert. This documentary unearths an attempted-to-be-censored yet critical part of our local history.
