Andy Coon to lecture on Auburn’s campus
Auburn University's Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs, in conjunction with the Department of Geology and Geography, is bringing nationally known documentary director Andy Coon to campus to discuss his award winning documentary Greensboro's Child on Thursday, Nov. 5., at 4 p.m. in Haley Center room 2370.
The film documents the events surrounding a "Death to The Klan" rally and conference held in Greensboro, N. C. In this award-winning documentary, Coon explores the buried evidence from both state and federal court prosecutions by examining the trials under a new lens. The hour long documentary will be followed by a panel discussion focusing on the contested history and legacy of Nov. 3, 1979, featuring distinguished Auburn University faculty. The event is free and open to the public. Those with questions should contact Amanda Carr at 844-2976.
