Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to share a link to Standins, a documentary that I encountered at a local screening at our public library. http://peopleshistoryintexas.org/standins/

Standins features interviews with people who participated in unusual demonstrations around University of Texas in 1960, aimed at integrating two movie theatres near the campus. The Faith and Life Community (and Joe Mathews) are mentioned in the interviews.

The film was made by Richard Croxdale (rcroxdal@austincc.edu) and his partner, Glenn Scott (glenns1048@yahoo.com), who is female. I spoke with Richard after I saw the documentary, and wrote to him with links to the ICA archives. He wrote back: Thanks.  I always wondered what happened.  They seemed to disappear from the Austin scene by the time of anti-war activities.  Fascinating journey.  Someone should do the documentary.  Not me.  Not us.  We stay in Texas, pretty much. But someone could create a nice little doc with that material. (the ICA archive material)

The documentary provides a glimpse into the Faith and Life Community prior to the move to Chicago. 

We showed the film to the Holcombe's, Henry's, Hampton's, Adkinson's, and Singleton's Saturday night. 

Hope you enjoy.

All the best,
Diann McCabe, San Marcos, TX
