Ain't No Back to A Merry-Go-Round, USA, 2023, 1hr 29min
In 1960, when Black students sat on a segregated Maryland carousel at the Glen Echo Amusement Park, in a suburb of Washington DC, the largely Jewish community near the amusement park joined the Black students on the picket line. An extraordinary partnership was formed. Four living protesters rescue this forgotten history. This is the untold story of a moment in the early civil rights movement.
