Finally
Got The News is a forceful documentary that reveals
the activities of the League of Revolutionary Black Workers inside
and outside the auto factories of Detroit. "Rather ordinary
people becoming very angry with the system. Ideological in the best
sense: it is a film about ideas [and] presents a serious strategy
for mass working class action. It speaks of a specific time and
specific experiences in terms that will remain relevant as long
as working people are not able to control their own lives."
– Cineaste Magazine. (Stewart Bird, Rene Lichtman and Peter
Gessner; 1970; 55 min)

SIGNS
OF CHANGE:
Social
Movement Cultures 1960s to Now
>>>
Guest curated by Dara
Greenwald + Josh MacPhee
Jan. 23 - March 8, 2009
"Covering issues from
global warming to the highly localized, Signs of Change
demonstrates that though history may be taught mostly in 'broad
strokes,' says MacPhee, 'This isn't about broad strokes, it's about
how it affects everyday people's lives.'" - Pittsburgh

"Signs
of Change is a bullseye sharp exhibit, spinning webs of history,
knitting years of yarn, spitting pure and rare movement history
...Take your time with this exhibit and you won’t be sorry." - Political
Poet(ry)
