African American Film Series: Lowndes County and the Road to Black Power
Lowndes County and the Road to Black Power, January 15, 2026
The documentary focuses on the rise of citizen-led voting rights campaigns in Lowndes County, Alabama. A Black-majority town with no Black voters, Lowndes County consequently transformed into a hotspot for activist movements. Organizers of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) collaborated with local residents to take a stand against racial violence in the late sixties.
Each movie screening is free, and donations of $5 or more are encouraged but not required. Please register at https://tinyurl.com/AAFS2025
The 2025–2026 series will run monthly from November through February, with screenings scheduled for November 13 and December 18, 2025, and January 15 and February 12, 2026. All screenings will take place in person at the Flint Institute of Arts (1120 E. Kearsley St., Flint, MI 48503).
Guests are invited to begin the evening with access to the FIA’s galleries, a complimentary dinner, and live music starting at 5:30 PM. Screenings begin at 6:45 PM, followed by engaging post-film discussions led by experts and community voices who will unpack the themes and messages of each film.
