Community Film Series to tell African American History Story
Three Albany-based community organizations have joined forces to present a 10-week film and discussion series entitled – African American History and Culture Film and Discussion Series. The Center for Law and Justice, the Albany Housing Authority, and the African American Cultural Center of the Capital District believe that it is important to provide a forum for community people to discuss major issues affecting their community and place them in an historical perspective for clearer understanding and effective action.
Key community leaders, educators, and activists will be on hand to discuss each film. They include: The Honorable Barbara Smith, Dr. Timothy Sams of RPI, Dr. Allen Ballard of SUNY at Albany, Alice Green, Mark Bobb-Semple, Brenda Motley, Dr. Ingrid Allard of Albany Medical College, Ekow King, Nell Stokes-Holmes, and Karen Christina Jones.
The Series will begin Thursday, February 21 at 5:30 PM and run through April 25 and is free and open to the public. Showings, discussions, and free snacks and refreshments will be held at 200 South Pearl Street at the Albany Housing Authority Building.
