Documenting the Great Depression

The Great Depression in Black and White
This film series begins on Oct. 6 (Tuesday), 7 p.m.,
Wells Library, E174, and continues weekly thereafter.
Sponsored by the Herman B Wells Library and the
Black Film Center/Archive, the series features four films
that deal with racial and economic inequality and injustice,
and show the resilience of people in tough times. The Black
Film Center/Archive was established in 1981 as a repository
of films and related materials by and about African Americans.

* The Green Pastures, Oct. 6
* American Madness, Oct. 14
* I Remember Harlem: The Depression Years, Oct. 21
* Our Daily Bread, Oct. 28

The film event is only one of a number of Great Depression initiatives,
which form part of a nationwide campaign to recognize the importance
of archives to teaching and research, in October the Indiana University
Libraries will present a month-long series of events documenting
the Great Depression.
