A Strike and An Uprising! (in Texas)

Join Holocaust Museum Houston for a screening of the documentary, “A Strike and An Uprising! (in Texas),” based in the telling of two events: the San Antonio pecan shellers’ strike of 1938 and the Jobs with Justice march led by Nacogdoches cafeteria workers, groundskeepers, and housekeepers in 1987. Lewis explores both events in the same film, using the methods of oral history and by relating these stories strongly to contemporary ideas and events.

The screening will be followed by an audience Q&A with filmmaker Anne Lewis.
