Documentaries and Discussions on Saturday, December 3rd at 7:00 p.m. This month's documentary is Scottsboro: An American Tragedy.
In 1931, two white women stepped from a box car in Paint Rock, Alabama to make a shocking accusation: they had been raped by nine black teenagers on the train. So began one of the most significant legal fights of the twentieth century. The trial of the nine falsely accused teens would draw North and South into their sharpest conflict since the Civil War, yield two momentous Supreme Court decisions and give birth to the Civil Rights Movement.
Discussion following the film will be led by James Earl Davis, Interim Dean of the School of Education at Temple University and expert on urban education.
As always, all are welcome. Free admission, refreshments and child care!

"So Beautifully Illustrated" -- Focus on Katharine Richardson Wireman
After studying with Howard Pyle, Katharine Richardson Wireman (1878-1966) began her career as an illustrator of articles and stories for adults and children, advertisements, and fashion features. Especially known for a number of lively color covers for The Country Gentleman from 1916 to 1924, Wireman ably adapted her versatile style to a variety of subjects through the mid-twentieth century. This exhibition will also include a selection of works by other women illustrators of the period, providing a context for Wireman's art.
Almost one hundred years ago, Katharine Wireman, then an active member of the Meeting, drew the picture of our Meetinghouse that is the logo of the Meeting's newsletter and the background of this web page today. Thank you, Katharine!
