Alice's Ordinary People: A Discussion with the Filmmaker Craig Dudnick

Alice's Ordinary People is a documentary film about Alice Tregay – a woman who refused to stand still for injustice and brought others together to change what was. Her remarkable story spans the historic period from the marches of Dr. King to the election of Barack Obama. Her unique contribution in the field of politics is the thread which connects the two.  Alice Tregay dedicated her life to educating people about their civil rights by providing in-depth political education opportunity in an ongoing series of neighborhood civic classes for her neighbors and fellow citizens in Chicago.  Her influence spread across the country.  Please take the time to watch this extraordinary film on Kanopy (a free video streaming service available with your library card) prior to the discussion.  Although you will still enjoy the discussion if you don't watch the film.
