Award-winning film “The 9 O’Clock Whistle” by LWVNC and LWV Dare County

Don’t miss the award-winning film, “The 9 O’Clock Whistle,” which will be shown via Zoom by LWVNC and LWV Dare County on Feb. 23 at 7 p.m.  

On Saturday nights at 9 o’clock in the small, segregated town of Enfield, North Carolina, officials blew a siren-like whistle directing all the Black citizens to clear the downtown streets.

In the voices of those who lived it, “The Nine O’Clock Whistle” documents how a movement from 1963 to 1965 changed the town forever.

Producers Willa Cofield and Karen Riley will join us for this event.

Register for the Zoom here. Watch the film’s trailer here.
