Chicago Urban League’s ‘Powerbrokers’ screening at DuSable Museum

Chicago Urban League's 'Powerbrokers' screening at DuSable Museum
Six men of Civil Rights: John Lewis, Whitney Young, Philip Randolph, Martin Luther King, James Farmer and Roy Wilkins in 1963.

The Black Panthers and other Black revolutionists proclaimed that Young was bought, a puppet of the status quo. The film The Powerbroker reveals the accomplishments and sacrifices that Young made in his short life, and offers fresh insight into the lives of the other Civil Rights leaders and heads of state that were revered by millions but known by few.
