We are excited to partner with Photosynthesis Productions (PSP), an Ithaca-based film company, to produce a documentary that will be a tribute to the life and ongoing legacy of Dr. Dorothy Foreman Cotton, a civil rights icon of the Southern Freedom Movement.
“Donations to DCI have supported over 120 local youth to attend the DCI Annual Gala and Dinner and meet distinguished speakers such as: Ambassador Andrew Young, Rev. Carolyn McKinstry, Tavis Smiley, and Dr. Clayborne Carson, the late Dr. Vincent G. Harding, LaTosha Brown, and DCI Distinguished Fellow, the late Dr. Dorothy Cotton.”
DCI is supports schools to become a “Human Rights Friendly School”. New Roots Charter School was the first school designated in our region!
“Donations to DCI have helped over 50 grassroots community activists and organizers attend DCI’s Citizenship Education and Human Rights workshops and Annual DCI Galas.”
“Donations supported 2 bus-loads to the 50th Anniversary March on Washington.”
We are excited to partner with Photosynthesis Productions (PSP), an Ithaca-based film company, to produce a documentary that will be a tribute to the life and ongoing legacy of Dr. Dorothy Foreman Cotton, a civil rights icon of the Southern Freedom Movement.
This film will focus not only on Dorothy Cotton’s role with the CEP, but will also highlight several other unsung s/heroes of the movement whose names and contributions the public should know. Dorothy Cotton’s work on non-violence, the power of freedom songs and taking action did not end in the ’60s. The film will include interviews with her colleagues and friends, archival footage of her talks and workshops, and the impact of her remarkable life.
We hope to have this project finished by spring of 2020 and that it will inspire people to vote in the 2020 federal election.
