A vigil for racial justice has been held on the steps of Old South Church on Wednesdays since the death of George Floyd in late May. Participants in the vigil would like to invite community members to join us for a viewing of the documentary "13th" on August 14th. The film explores the "intersection of race, justice, and mass incarceration in the United States;" it is titled after the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, adopted in 1865, which abolished slavery throughout the United States and ended involuntary servitude except as a punishment for conviction of a crime.
Date: Friday, August 14th (rain date Friday, August 21st)
Time: 8:00PM - 10:00PM
Location: The Windsor Exchange 30 Depot Ave. Windsor VT
FOR MATURE AUDIENCES. MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR AGES 17 AND UNDER.
The film will be shown outdoors. Please bring a blanket or chair for seating during the film. Masks will be required as per state guidelines.
There will also be a post-film discussion on Wednesday, August 19th from 6:30-7:30 PM at the Windsor Common.
