Notes
Description
On October 22nd, 1963, 250,000 students boycotted the Chicago Public Schools to protest racial segregation. Many marched through the city calling for the resignation of School Superintendent Benjamin Willis, who placed trailers, dubbed 'Willis Wagons,' on playgrounds of overcrowded schools rather than let them enroll in nearby underutilized white schools. Unseen 16mm footage of this historic event, filmed by Kartemquin's founders, and the memories of the participants connect the dramatic story of one of the largest Northern civil rights demonstrations to contemporary issues of race, education, school closings, and youth activism.
