celebration of Black History Month, the ANNENBERG SPACE FOR
PHOTOGRAPHY will screen AVA DUVERNAY’s historical drama, _Selma_.
The film chronicles the Alabama city’s suffrage movement, in the
wake of the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. While the Act
provided the legal basis for desegregation of the South, rampant
discrimination still made it difficult, if not impossible, for blacks
to register to vote. By 1965, SELMA, Alabama became the battleground
in the struggle for representation. Despite violent opposition, Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. and his followers pressed forward on an epic
march from SELMA TO MONTGOMERY, with their heroic efforts culminating
in President Lyndon Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The
film features LAKEITH STANFIELD and OPRAH WINFREY, who are also
included in _Vanity Fair: Hollywood Calling_.
For the duration of _Hollywood Calling_, the Photo Space will showcase
some of the greatest films by the directors and actors portrayed in
the exhibition, coinciding with Black History Month (February),
Women’s History Month (March), National Humor Month (April), Asian
Pacific American Month (May), Pride (June), and a fun, Hollywood
summer blockbuster for July.
