WALLS THAT BLEED: THE STORY OF THE DUDLEY/A&T UPRISING is a documentary film that chronicles a lesser-known chapter of the civil rights movement in Greensboro, North Carolina in the 1960s.
While Greensboro, North Carolina is known for the non-violent sit-ins at segregated drug store counters in 1960, those demonstrations also led to one of the most successful student-led uprisings.
What started as a protest over a simple student council election at James B. Dudley High School in 1969 quickly erupted into a three-day gun battle on the campus of the historically black North Carolina A&T State University, with the local African-American community defending itself against local and national law enforcement. The film has been shown at film festivals and campus and community events nationwide.
