The Inquisitor by Angela Tucker 

Meet Barbara Jordan: a civil rights icon whose powerful voice masked a complex private life. 

Explore the life and legacy of Barbara Jordan in The Inquisitor. Jordan was a groundbreaking Texas congresswoman whose sharp intellect and moral clarity transformed U.S. politics. From Nixon’s impeachment to civil rights battles, her voice demanded accountability, while she privately faced struggles few ever knew of.

The screening will be followed by a talk facilitated by Emilia Toth (she/her). She is the youth programs manager for League of Women Voters of Maine and Maine Students Vote.
