3rd Saturday Documentaries at Elegba Folklore Society: I Am Not Your Negro
October 20, 2018 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Join us in our Cultural Center every 3rd Saturday in the month as we present cinematic works created by black filmmakers across the diaspora.
Documentaries can open windows to our past. Through the lens of talented filmmakers, we can re-live iconic moments in history like the 1963 March on Washington or climb aboard a Greyhound bus to join the Freedom Riders on their journey through the Jim Crow South. Documentaries offer rich insight into our society and culture, connect us to our past, present, and future.
