The Yale Club of Houston invites alumni to a special film screening on Feb. 24:
On February 24th, we’ll be featuring alumni Thomas Cole ’71 and William Howze ’67 in a film screening and discussion of The Strange Demise of Jim Crow, a documentary chronicling desegregation efforts in Houston, based on Tom Cole’s book No Color is My Kind: The Life of Eldrewey Stearns and the Integration of Houston. This is a unique opportunity to learn how student activists, local businesses, and black community leaders collaborated to desegregate Houston at a critical time in American history. We’ll watch the film at 14 Pews, a unique micro-theater in the Heights. Reserve your spot by visiting http://www.yaleclubofhouston.org.
