Ain't No Back to A Merry-Go-Round (2024)
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 nearby joined them on the picket line. An extraordinary partnership was formed. Four living protesters rescue this forgotten moment in the early civil rights movement. 1 hr., 29 min. (NR)
