Revolution ’67

Marylou Tibaldo-Bongiorno’s film, Revolution ’67 is an account of events too often relegated to footnotes in U.S. history, the black urban rebellions of the 1960s. Focusing on the six-day Newark, N.J., outbreak in mid-July, voices from across the spectrum, activists Tom Hayden and Amiri Baraka, journalist Bob Herbert, Mayor Sharpe James, and other officials, National Guardsmen and Newark citizens recall lessons as hard learned then as they have been neglected since. Filmmaker Marylou Tibaldo-Bongiorno speaks about the film.

Revolution ’67 is presented as part of the 2007 Women Center Stage Festival.
