The Evanston Public Library and the Evanston History Center present a screening of "Guess Who's Coming to Diner." Run Time: 108 minutes. Rating: NR.
The Evanston Public Library and the Evanston History Center are collaborating on a series of events commemorating 1968 in conjunction with EHC's exhibit, "Seasons of Change."
When Joanna Drayton, a free-thinking white woman, and black doctor John Prentice become engaged, they travel to San Francisco to meet her parents. Matt Drayton and his wife Christina are wealthy liberals who must confront the latent racism the coming marriage arouses. Also attending the Draytons' dinner are Prentice's parents, who vehemently disapprove of the relationship.
This event is free and open to all with no registration required. It is in the Community Meeting Room on the 1st floor of the Main Library.
