Screening & Community Conversation: "Vermont Speaks for Itself", social justice in the 1970s and its legacy today
Martin Luther King, Jr. Program
Vermont History Center, 60 Washington St, Barre, VT

"Vermont Speaks For Itself" is a 1973 social justice multi-media documentary project which uses extensive interviews with Vermonters to illustrate the economic and social conditions faced by Vermont’s low-income and working people during that period, backed with additional narration that highlights research and proposes solutions.

Join the Vermont Historical Society for a special screening of this recently digitized film, followed by a community conversation building on the film’s themes of social justice, economic reform, progressive activism, and support for all Vermonters. This event is part of our annual series commemorating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
