About this Event

The screening invites viewers to reflect on Flack’s groundbreaking career, her commitment to musical excellence, and the ways her work expanded representation and storytelling in American music. A community discussion will follow.
This evening discussion will be led by Roger Moreano, Senior Director of Institutional and Community Equity.
