Just a few days left to support Invisible Universe: a history of blackness in speculative fiction. For this documentary, director M. Asli Dukan has interviewed a "Who's Who" of Black fantasy, horror and science fiction/speculative fiction-- writers, filmmakers and artists-- including Samuel R. Delany, Octavia E. Butler, Wesly Snipes, Nichelle Nichols, Steven Barnes, Tananarive Due, Nalo Hopkinson, Nnedi Okorafor, and more. She has traveled the country documenting events, conferences and performances, to reveal how black creators have countered the invisibility of black characters in "popular" speculative fiction, by creating a universe of their own.

Freedom Riders were ordinary people, mostly young, who challenged the system of segregation - apartheid - which had existed in the US South for almost a hundred years. The Freedom Riders boarded commercial buses, riding in small, integrated groups, to challenge segregation in inter-state facilities in the deep South. They met violence, resistance, and incarceration. Carol Ruth Silver is a civil rights attorney and since 2002, has been working to promote education for girls in Afghanistan.
