DESCRIPTION:Activist philanthropist Felicia Horowitz will host a special screening of 
 the documentary film The Rape of Recy Taylor, followed by a panel 
 discussion and Q & A with the film’s director and others on Saturday, 
 February 10 in GLIDE’s Sanctuary. The event is free and open to the 
 public, but registration via Eventbrite is required. \n\n	The Rape of Recy 
 Taylor, a 2017 documentary by Nancy Buirski, tells the story of a 
 24-year-old African American mother and sharecropper who was gang-raped by 
 six white men in 1944 Alabama. Although such violence was common in the Jim 
 Crow South, very few women victimized by white men dared speak up, fearing 
 for their lives. Not Recy Taylor, who bravely identified her rapists. The 
 NAACP sent its chief rape investigator, Rosa Parks, who, a decade before 
 her role in the Montgomery Bus Boycott, rallied support and triggered an 
 unprecedented outcry for justice. This powerful film exposes a legacy of 
 physical abuse of black women and reveals Rosa Parks’ pivotal role in 
 Recy Taylor’s story—a story recently brought to national attention by 
 Oprah Winfrey during her celebrated speech at the 2018 Golden Globe Awards.
