Civics and Cinema in the Park

  • Stevens Square Park 1801 Stevens Avenue Minneapolis, MN, 55403 United States (map)

Join us at Stevens Square Park on Juneteenth for the revival of Civics and Cinema! We will be gathering around 8 pm for a social hour before showing “Nothing But a Man” at sunset (around 9 pm). Bring your own chair or lawn blanket.

Here is a brief description of the movie:
”African-American rail worker Duff Anderson (Ivan Dixon) has left his 4-year old son with a nanny, and now drifts through life with little ambition. Duff's outlook on life changes when he meets schoolteacher Josie Dawson (Abbey Lincoln), a gentle preacher's daughter. Although Josie's father (Stanley Greene) disapproves of Duff's lifestyle, the two eventually marry. Duff and Josie struggle to hold on to their marriage as Duff must face up to the oppressive racism of 1960s America.”
