Join The Rosenberg Fund for Children virtually for The Rosenberg Case 70 Years Later: Fighting Fascism Then and Now, an event and premier of a short RFC-produced film on either of two screening dates – June 14th or June 25th. The event will feature long-time activist and RFC Advisory Board member Angela Y. Davis, National Book award-winning poet and RFC Advisory Board member Martín Espada, Highlander Center Co-Executive Director Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson, Executive Director of Muslim Advocates Omar Farah, Rosenberg sons Robert and Michael Meeropol and other artists and activists.
The film will include readings and dramatized vignettes, interspersed with art, which will draw from letters written by Ethel and Julius Rosenberg and other activists’ stories from within the RFC community. The event will conclude with a live conversation between Robert, RFC Executive Director Jennifer Meeropol and audience members. Amidst the rise of racist, xenophobic and nationalistic oppression in the U.S. across the generations, this event will highlight the powerful current of anti-fascist activism that continues to this day.
This 70th anniversary commemoration will honor Ethel and Julius’ resistance and legacy and share 30+ years of RFC beneficiary stories that illuminate the ongoing battle against fascism. Learn more and register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-rosenberg-case-70-years-later-fighting…
