Free Event: Daisy Bates: First Lady of Little Rock

The Chicago Cultural Center’s Claudia Cassidy Theatre is the site for a free screening. The documentary profiles Daisy Bates, who was a journalist involved with the desegregation of Little Rock’s Central High School in 1957 (a tv film starred Joanne Woodward as an assistant principal at the school), as well as a human rights activist.  It also airs on PBS' Independent Lens later this season.
