America 250 Movie Series: Glory

The America 250 Movie Series begins with the 1989 American epic historical war drama Glory. Starring Denzel Washington, Matthew Broderick, Cary Elwes and Morgan Freeman, Glory is a tribute to the Army's first black regiment, the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, that was organized during the Civil War under the command of an inexperienced white New Englander. Join us after the movie for a short discussion with one of our historians. This screening is free but advance registration is required.

Glory is rated R primarily for its graphic, intense war violence and pervasive language.
