Celebrate Black History Month with a screening of Wade in the Water, a deep dive into the history of Black surfing. Braiding historical accounts with modern-day testimonials, the film dismantles the racial barriers of conventional surf culture, delves into the overlooked history of Black surfing's legacy, and honors its current movement. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with the film’s Director, David Mesfin; Sharon Schaffer, the 1st Black Pro Surfer; Greg Rachal of the Black Surfers Collective; Cristyne Lawson, 4th generation Black San Monica resident whose family moved to Santa Monica in 1908, and Historian Alison R. Jefferson.
