Library events are always free to the public and you do not need a library card to attend!
The Farmington Community Library has two locations. This event will be held in the Auditorium at the FCL Farmington Hills location at 32737 W. 12 Mile Rd., Farmington Hills, MI 48334.
Join us for a FREE screening of Detroit's Olympic Uprising, a new documentary presented by Aaron Schillinger, director of the award-winning documentary Boblo Boats: A Detroit Ferry Tale. Producer and editor Schillinger will be in the house for Q&A directly following the 52-minute film. See the film synopsis below:
"By 1960, Detroit had lost more bids to host the Olympic games than any city on earth. As the city aims once again for global recognition in its bid to host the 1968 Summer Olympics, young Black activists challenge systemic racism, redefining the meaning of universal brotherhood amidst the fight for equality."
Sponsored by the Farmington Friends of the Library.
