"4 Little Girls" is Spike Lee's first documentary, produced in 1997 and nominated for an Academy Award that year. It is the story of the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in September, 1963, which resulted in the deaths of four young girls, told through interviews and historic footage.

Following the film Dale Long, a survivor of that bombing at the age of 11, will lead a discussion on "From outrage to social change: How the murder of four girls helped trigger sustained change."

Dale Long is a nationally recognized speaker on social justice issues and has addressed organizations such as the National Urban League and the Congressional Black Caucus. He is active in Big Brothers and Sisters of America and in 1989 received the Big Brother of the Year Award.

The film will be shown at 10 a.m., with lunch and discussion to follow at approximately 11:45 a.m. The public is invited to attend all or part of the event.
