NEW ROCHELLE, NY — On November 7, 2021, there will be a screening of Leveling Lincoln, a documentary film by filmmaker Arden Lewis, at the Ossie Davis Theater in New Rochelle, New York.
The film tells the story of “The Little Rock of the North” case and its impact on the first and second wave of children who were impacted by the court’s historic decision.
Proceeds from the fundraiser will go to The Lincoln Park Conservancy. Anyone interested in the screening can RSVP at thelincolnparkconservancy@gmail.com or can support the capital campaign launch.
Paul W. Zuber, son of Paul B. Zuber, the civil rights attorney who filed the Taylor v. Board of Education of New Rochelle case, has written an article about the case and the documentary.
