Directed by Edward Zwick and starring Matthew Broderick, Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, and Cary Elwes, Glory tells the inspiring true story of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, one of the first African American regiments to serve in the Civil War

.
"America's 250th birthday is the perfect opportunity to reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and determination that shaped our nation," said Debbie Higgins, co-host of Marquee Classic Movies. "Glory is a powerful story that reminds us that the American journey has always been about striving toward the
ideals of freedom, equality, and unity."

Joe DeIorio, co-host of Marquee Classic Movies, added, "One of the things we love most about classic films is their ability to bring people together. After the incredible response to our Airplane! event, we're excited to create another immersive experience—this time celebrating American history, patriotism, and one of the most moving films ever made."

The event is part of Marquee Classic Movies' ongoing mission to bring audiences together for unforgettable big-screen experiences featuring classic films, trivia, themed activities, and community engagement.
