The Dixie 3
A Story On Civil Rights in Nursing
OVERVIEW
Our documentary broke this story of triumph. A magical 25-minute cinematic docu-drama that takes the audience back to the 1963 landmark civil rights case known for ending segregation at Dixie Hospital in Hampton, Virginia. The DIXIE 3, a name coined by film producer Denetra Hampton, orchestrated a sit-in at the hospital cafeteria, designated for whites only. This film takes you along the process of the case and offers up a bigger conversation about structural racism in nursing and healthcare.
