TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- The University of Alabama Women’s Resource Center will sponsor a screening and discussion of the film “Walkout” on Wednesday, Oct. 1 at 6 p.m. in the Ferguson Center Theater as part of Hispanic Latino Heritage Month events on campus.
“Walkout,” a docudrama, is a true story about one Mexican-American’s fight against academic prejudices in the height of the national civil rights movement. This story follows Paula Crisostomo as she coordinates a multi-school walkout in Los Angeles in 1968.
The event is co-sponsored by Housing and Residential Communities with the support of Crossroads Community Center. Admission is free and open to all.
The University of Alabama, a student-centered research university, is in the midst of a planned, steady enrollment growth with a goal of reaching 28,000 students by 2010. This growth, which is positively impacting the campus and the state's economy, is in keeping with UA's vision to be the university of choice for the best and brightest students. UA, the state's flagship university, is an academic community united in its commitment to enhancing the quality of life for all Alabamians.
