When 5 Howard University students sat ona Maryland carousel in 1960\, the arrests made headlines. When the white community near Glen Echo Amusement Park joined the Black students in picketing\, an extraordinary history-ma king partnership was born. The pickets attracted Nazis\, Congressman\, and a press avalanche. Picketing together over the sweltering summer led to p artying together\, and union organizers mentored student activists. Ten 19 61Freedom Riders\, including Stokely Carmichael\, were incubated on the Gl en Echo picket line\, and the carousel arrests were challenged in the Supr eme Court case.\n\nWith never-before seen footage\, and immersive storytel ling by Emmy-award winning director Ilana Trachtman (Praying with Lior\, B lack in Latin America\, The Pursuit)\, four living protesters rescue this forgotten history\, revealing the price\, and the power\, of heeding the i mpulse to activism. AIN'T NO BACK TO A MERRY-GO-ROUND includes voiceover b y noted actors Jeffrey Wright\, Mandy Patinkin\, Bob Balaban\, Lee Grant\, Peter Gallagher\, Dominique Thorne\, Alysia Reiner and Tracie Thoms.\n\nC lick here to watch the film trailer.\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.kolshalom.com/wp-content/uploads/202 5/07/sold-out.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20251102T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0400 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:EST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
