A Dream Deferred: Remembering the Occupation (2006) February 28, 2008

As part of Black History Month, the Delaware Humanities Forum will hold a screening of the documentary, 'A Dream Deferred: Remembering the Occupation.' The film depicts the rioting that took place in Wilmington after the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968, and the subsequent 9-month occupation of Wilmington by the National Guard. The film, by local filmmakers Serviam Media, will be followed by a one-hour facilitator-led forum in which members of the community can recount their experiences, ask questions and share viewpoints about how the film and its subject have impacted them.
