This month’s programming suggestions from Films On Demand can help students and researchers study the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963, where Martin Luther King Jr. gave his “I Have a Dream” speech, and the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote. They can also help them prepare for National Suicide Prevention Week and the anniversary of 9/11, both coming up in September. Subscribers can also explore the complete calendar (accessible via the menu in the header, top left of the platform) for the year’s milestones, holidays, and events—a handy source for ideas throughout the year.
