Feb 12 – I Am Not Your Negro film screening at 6 p.m. at the Jacob Conference Center· From the website: “Master filmmaker Raoul Peck envisions the book James Baldwin never finished, “Remember This House.” The result is a radical, up-to-the-minute examination of race in America, using Baldwin’s original words and flood of rich archival material. “I Am Not Your Negro” is a journey into black history that connects the past of the Civil Rights movement to the present of #BlackLivesMatter. It is a film that questions black representation in Hollywood and beyond. And, ultimately, by confronting the deeper connections between the lives and assassination of Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr., Baldwin and Peck have produced a work that challenges the very definition of what America stands for.”· The event is free and open to the public.· Event sponsors: African American Student Council and QEP· Lyric sheets will be provided.· The event is free and open to the public.· Event sponsor: African American Student Council and QEP8.
