SOPHIA MEDINA ▼ FORT LAUDERDALE NEVER FORGET Three years before the March on Washington, a 1960 protest at Glen Echo Amusement Park, located outside Washington, D.C., played a vi- tal role in changing the course of history and activating a generation of civil rights advo- cates. Black protesters gathered to oppose the segregationist policies at the attraction, and a local community of mostly Jewish white pro- testers joined in solidarity. The documentary Ain’t No Back to a Merry-Go-Round tells this largely unheard story through archival foot- age and accounts from the people who were there. 6 p.m. at Savor Cinema, 503 SE Sixth St., Fort Lauderdale; 954-525-3456.
