Get ready, San Jose! On December 7th, 2024, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, CreaTV San Jose at 38 South Second Street will host a night that will shake things up. It's not just a film premiere; it's a full-on cultural explosion with art, snacks, and a dash of revolution.
The Main Event: Disrupting Dayton
Ever heard of the Dayton Riots of 1966? If not, you're in for a wild ride. This isn't your grandma's history lesson (unless your grandma is super cool, in which case, can we meet her?). "Disrupting Dayton" dives headfirst into the chaos and courage of a city torn apart and stitched back together.
The film takes us back to a time when Dayton, Ohio, was a hotbed of tension. People were fighting to break down the walls of segregation in their neighborhoods and schools. It wasn't pretty, but it was real. And now, decades later, we get to see the whole messy, inspiring story unfold on screen.
More Than Just a Movie
But wait, there's more! (No, we're not selling kitchen gadgets.) This event is pulling out all the stops to give you a full-on experience.
Art That Packs a Punch
Ever seen art that makes you want to start a revolution? Well, you're about to. The event will showcase Emory Douglas's work; let me tell you, this guy knows how to make a statement. As the former Minister of Culture for the Black Panther Party (how's that for a job title?), Douglas created art that screamed for justice and equality. His bold, in-your-face style is still as powerful today as it was back then.
Talk It Out
After the credits roll, don't rush for the exit. Stick around for the best part of the night - a no-holds-barred discussion with the filmmakers and local community leaders. Got questions? Ask 'em. Got opinions? Share 'em. This is your chance to dig deeper into Dayton's history and maybe even figure out how to shake things up in your backyard.
Snacks: Because Revolution Makes You Hungry
Let's be real - all this learning and discussing is bound to work up an appetite. The organizers have got you covered with snacks. Will they be themed to match the 1960s? Will there be a "Disrupt Your Taste Buds" platter? We don't know, but we're excited to find out.
Why You Should Care
Now, you might be thinking, "Dayton? That's not even in California!" True, but this story isn't just about one city. It's about the fights that have shaped America, the kind of struggles that echo through time and across state lines.
This event is for history buffs who want to uncover a chapter often left out of the textbooks. It's for art lovers who want to see creativity with a cause. It's for anyone who's ever looked at their community and thought, "We can do better."
