Film Screening and Panel Discussion: “Homage to a Hero: Reflections from Reverend Steve Allen”

“Homage to a Hero: Reflections from Reverend Steve Allen”

the International Civil Rights Center and Museum, in collaboration with UNC-Greensboro’s departments of Media Studies, History and University Libraries, will honor Rev. Allen’s achievements with the short film, Homage to a Hero: Reflections from Reverend Steve Allen, at the ICRCM Auditorium.

The film portrays, in Allen’s own words, how, over a successful career as an attorney, judge, and pastor, he broke racial barriers and paved the way for generations to come.

After the screening, Rev. Allen himself will reflect on the courage it took to stand up to injustice throughout his career. He will be joined by a panel that will put his life events in context and discuss the Civil Rights Museum’s role in preserving this valuable history. 

This event is collaboration of the International Civil Rights Museum and UNC-Greensboro Departments of History, Media Studies, and University Libraries.
