To celebrate America's 250th birthday, WSKG, Cinemapolis, and The History Center are partnering to bring you a series of history documentary screenings and community conversations.

The second film in this series is Equal Protection: The Supreme Court’s Battle with Affirmative Action.

“Equal Protection: The Supreme Court’s Battle with Affirmative Action” is an examination of race-based decision making as two cases before the court challenge its use in college admissions. Interviews with scholars and key participants illuminate affirmative action’s judicial history, its future, and the passion that surrounds it.

This screening will be followed by a discussion led by Shaianne Osterreich, Professor of Economics at Ithaca College. This event is free and open to the public.
