Alice's Ordinary People is a documentary film about Alice Tregay – a woman who refused to stand still for injustice. Her remarkable story spans the historic period from the marches of Dr. King to the election of Barack Obama, and her unique contribution in the field of politics is the thread that connects the two.
The film is available to watch for free through the libraries' Kanopy streaming service:

Patrons are encouraged to watch the film before the Zoom program, but the presentation can be enjoyed whether or not you've seen the film.
This program is a presentation and discussion with independent filmmaker Craig Dudnick, who brought Alice's story to life in the documentary.
