TRIUMPH: Tampa’s Untold Chapter in the Civil Rights Movement (2025)
Set in 1960s Florida, this powerful documentary uncovers a hidden chapter of the Civil Rights Movement. A courageous group of Black high school students organized peaceful sit-ins at a downtown lunch counter, sparking a wave of change across the city. Their actions grew into a movement that opened restaurants, theaters, pools, and beaches to all. Through firsthand accounts and historical footage, the film brings to life the voices of ordinary people who transformed their community—and helped reshape a nation.
Guests are invited to stay after the screening for a panel discussion and audience Q&A with the filmmaker and local community leaders who participated in the peaceful sit-ins at the Woolworth lunch counter and individuals connected to the Stageworks Theatre production of When the Righteous Triumph.
