Women's Rights National Historical Park continues its annual Winter Film Festival by showing the documentary film Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglass on Friday, February 14, and Saturday, February 15, 2014.

These short films reveal the civil rights convictions of two of the movement's early leaders. The running time for Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglass is 45 minutes.

Women's Rights National Historical Park commemorates and preserves the sites associated with the First Women's Rights Convention, held in 1848 in Seneca Falls. "We are proud to be part of the National Park system, and we invite everyone to join us in celebrating our shared history and culture through film," said Superintendent Ami Ghazala. "The Winter Film Festival is a fun way to learn about our national history," added Superintendent Ghazala.

All Winter Film Festival showings will occur at 12:00 Noon on Fridays and Saturdays at the Women's Rights National Historical Park Visitor Center, located at 136 Fall Street in Seneca Falls. All film showings are free of charge. The Winter Film Festival films are intended for a general audience. Visitors are encouraged to call if they are interested in a particular showing as film lengths vary.
