Free tickets to the new movie "The Express," will be given away on campus Monday the 29th of September (tomorrow.) Tickets will be available for pick-up in the Daily Emerald office in the EMU, which is on the second level of the EMU, starting tomorrow. There will be an ad in tomorrow's paper as well to remind students about this opportunity. Go early, because free items on campus rarely last long. This is an early screening just for University students, and will be sold out, so be sure to go early if you want good seats.
Here's a description of the movie:
In America in the late 1950s and early ’60s, one young man became a symbol for a country grappling to move past its long-held views of people of color. His unprecedented journey unfolded as he shattered not only sports records, but also perceptions of what was possible for an African-American at the time. His name was Ernie Davis, but fans knew him better as “The Elmira Express.”
This film is a tribute to his courage.
Based on a true story, The Express follows the extraordinary life of college football hero Ernie Davis (ROB BROWN of Finding Forrester, Coach Carter). His quiet fight for equality and respect forever changed the face of the game, and his civil rights story continues to inspire new generations.
