Join us on Wednesday, February 12 at 6-8:30pm at Irondequoit Town Hall in the Broderick Room for the screening of our film, Being Black in America, an award-winning documentary short film that delves into the diverse experiences and perspectives of Black Americans as they explore the question: What does it mean to you to be Black in America?Storytellers onscreen dive into the complexities of Black identity, representation in film, and the transformative power of understanding our history and ancestry.
Reclaiming your power through ancestry deeply resonates with the Brister English Project whose mission is to connect the descendants of chattel slavery with their ancestors through genealogy. Joining Our Voices Project for a post-screening presentation, through a decolonized lens starting with the 1950’s Jim Crow era to present day, Walter English, founder of the Brister English Project, will discuss the challenges, complex emotions and racism involved in making genealogy accessible to Black people.
