On Sunday, March 19, Iowa Wesleyan will host the showing of the film documentary, ?13th?, from 7 to 9 p.m., in the Chadwick Library?s International Room.
The title of Ava DuVernay?s documentary refers to the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which reads, ?neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States.?
The progression from that second qualifying clause to criminalization and the growing American prison industry is laid out by DuVernay in her film documentary.
The general public is welcome to attend this free event.
