Documentary Honors Eliot Battle




“Battle: Change from Within,” is a documentary about educator Eliot Battle and the pivotal role he played in desegregating schools, housing, and the Columbia community. As Battle facilitated changes with quiet resolve,
he faced resistance from both the black and white communities. His calm demeanor and dedicated work within existing institutions and systems allowed him to bridge the gap between the two races and change Columbia
for the better.

7:00 PM, Saturday, February 25, Bush Auditorium, Cornell Hall.
