“That four great nations, flushed with victory and stung with injury stay the hand of vengeance and voluntarily submit their captive enemies to the judgment of the law is one of the most significant tributes that Power has ever paid to Reason.” — from Jackson's Opening Statement before the International Military Tribunal

Follow the North Star


Aaron Beckwith's Emmy Award-winning Follow the North Star film about the Underground Railroad will be viewed by local students in the Jackson Center's Carl Cappa Theater on Tuesday, June 17 and Wednesday, June 18. The film, produced by ABC more than 25 years ago, is a Civil War-era film about a young slave boy and a friend who escape from the South and travel north to gain freedom, guided by the North Star.

The film, which is geared to students in grades 3–6, will be shown each day at 9:30 a.m.
