Ain't No Back To A Merry-Go-Round Q&A (2025) | Ilana Trachtman and Louis Massiah

Ain't No Back To A Merry-Go-Round Q&A session with filmmaker Ilana Trachtman moderated by Louis Massiah following screening on February 26, 2025 at PhilaMOCA in Philadelphia, PA. Camera and Edit: Mike D. ---- For almost 60 years, Glen Echo Amusement Park was the wholesome, beloved playground of white metropolitan Washington. Every summer, tens of thousands enjoyed its Crystal Pool, wooden rollercoaster, Spanish Ballroom, and Tunnel of Love. But the Black children living nearby could only gawk from the road. In June of 1960, three shocking, unprecedented events happened at “idyllic” Glen Echo Amusement Park: Howard University Students arrived up at the Park, and sat down on the carousel. White, middle-aged neighbors, largely Jewish, joined the protests. The American Nazi Party showed up. AIN'T NO BACK TO A MERRY-GO-ROUND is the forgotten story of how those three events shook metropolitan Washington, forced sides, changed lives, and ignited sparks that flew out across the Civil Rights Movement for years to come. - www.aintnoback.com ----- Reelblack TWO, is our backup YouTube Channel that carries New Original content plus Classics from The Reelblack Vault that will be monetized.
