Being Black in America shows an array of different thoughts and attitudes behind Blackness and what it means to everyone on a personal level by asking one central question, What does being Black in America mean to you?
Being Black in America
Upcoming Screenings:
These are not your ordinary screenings. These are bridge-building, thought-provoking, and organizing events using film as a catalyst for change. Immediately following each screening, we'll hear from storytellers featured in the film, followed by a Q&A as well as community-engaged entrepreneurs, community leaders, and educators to participate as a collective in an action item of our choosing.
This event is free and open to the public. ASL Interpretation will be provided.
