Description

(2007, 40 mins)

Directed By: Quisha Freeman, Randall Dottin

The Life and Tragic Death of James Byrd follows the heartbreaking story of James Byrd, an African-American man who was brutally murdered when he was chained to a truck and dragged for three miles by white supremacists in Jasper, Texas nearly ten years ago. The film argues the way Byrd was portrayed by the media by shedding light on Byrd as a father and a friend. It shares personal interviews with Byrd’s family and friends, as well as several civil rights activists from around the world, including Martin Luther King, III, Susan Sarandon, and Dick Gregory.

The Trains at NorthPark Oh, no! Godzilla got into the Northpark train exhibit! But don't worry, the engineers will have it back up and running in time for your mall visit. And now, BEFORE the big holiday rush, is the best time to see them, before hundreds of drooling children take over the enclosure after Thanksgiving. More info
