in Steven Channing's "February One".
JANUARY 21 – “February One” facilitated by Carl Bradwell.
Based largely on firsthand accounts and rare archival footage,
the documentary film February One documents one volatile winter in
Greensboro that not only challenged public accommodation customs and
laws in North Carolina, but served as a blueprint for the wave of
non-violent civil rights protests that swept across the South and the
nation throughout the 1960's.

FEBRUARY 18 – “Ethnic Notions”.
Ethnic Notions is Marlon Riggs' Emmy-winning documentary
that takes viewers on a disturbing voyage through American history,
tracing for the first time the deep-rooted stereotypes which have fueled
anti-black prejudice. Through these images we can begin to understand
the evolution of racial consciousness in America.

MARCH 11 – “Barbie Nation”.
This film explores the generations of people obsessed with
Barbie, the world’s most popular toy. Journeying from Barbie conventions
to anti-Barbie demonstrations, from San Francisco’s gay pride parade to
Croatia’s bunkers, Barbie Nation plumbs the phenomenon of the Barbie
doll. Barbie fans, foes, fetishists—and the woman who created
Barbie—reveal the history and fantasy behind this 20th century icon.

Screen N' Speaks
Beginning in 2008, the Diversity, Study Abroad and TRIO Programs
Department will provide a new series called Screen n’ Speak. Each month,
the department will work with Student Activities to show a topically
diverse film for one week. At the end of the screening week, a final
showing of the film will take place coupled with a discussion session
led by a faculty or staff member of Columbus State.
All Screen n’ Speak films are carefully selected based on their
inclusive subject matter in hopes that a rich dialogue can result from
the viewing experience. The discussion sessions are geared toward
increasing understanding of diversity and inclusion and providing a
voice for the entire Columbus State community.
For more information on this event, please contact Kimberly Brazwell at
