And the Beat Goes On:  The Spirit in the Legacy of the Douglass Center Drum Corps"
Thursday, November 30 at 7pm
The Urbana Free Library auditorium
 
This 25-minute film features oral history interviews with African Americans from Urbana-Champaign who were a part of the Douglass Center Drum Corps during its heyday in the late 1960s. Brian Mitchell, one of the student filmmakers, describes the film this way; "It's about small town living. It's about the history of drumming itself, the egos and pride of the drummers, the personalities of the drummers, and the future of drumming." The film is a production of the Youth Media Workshop, a collaboration of WILL-TV and Will Patterson of the UI African American Studies and Research Program. 
 
Join us to celebrate the hard work of these young local filmmakers and to honor this rich, overlooked chapter in our community's history.
