Kansas City SDS/MDS

We will be screening the documentary Rebels with a Cause about the original SDS on Thursday, October 26 at 7pm in the Creative Minds Community Art Center / Crossroads Infoshop theatre, 31st and Troost in Kansas City, MO.

Rebels with a Cause chronicles the movements for social change of the Sixties that began with the civil rights movement and culminated with the angry protests against the US war in Vietnam. Told through the eyes of SDS members, the film is about far more than SDS. It’s about the values, motivations, and actions of a generation that lost its innocence but gained a sense of power and purpose. It’s about a decade that changed America.

NOTE: This event was rescheduled from Thursday, Sep. 28

George W. Bush and Jim Talent will be in Kansas City on September 8th for a $1000/ticket GOP fundraiser in the home of Russell Stover’s CEO Scott Ward.
