Stephens Auditorium patrons can now unlock access to John Lewis: Good Trouble directly from Magnolia Pictures and support Stephens through Wednesday, September 30. This special rental includes access to Rep. Lewis’ interview with Oprah Winfrey shortly before his death and a one-hour panel discussion, recorded in July, between the documentary’s director, Dawn Porter, and two of Rep Lewis’ fellow original Freedom Riders, Dr. Bernard Lafayette and Dr. Rip Patton.
The $12 rental fee includes a $5 donation to Stephens Auditorium. The link is good for 30 days once you purchase.
In addition to watching the film, there was a live, interactive online discussion about Rep. Lewis with Porter; Newark Mayor Ras J. Baraka; Khalil Gibran Muhammad, Professor of History, Race and Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School and Director of the Institutional Antiracism and Accountability Project; and Lonnie G. Bunch III, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, who worked to establish the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture on September 21. US Senator from New Jersey, Cory Booker, provided opening remarks. The link to this panel discussion is below.
