THIS EVENT HAS SHIFTED TO VIRTUAL

Friday, February 11 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. -VIRTUAL SCREENING- RSVP is required.

All are welcome to a screening of the documentary film "Tell Them We Are Rising: The Story of Black Colleges & Universities" hosted by the Living Leadership Program in recognition of Black History Month.

The rich history of America’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) began before the end of slavery, flourished in the 20th century, and profoundly influenced the course of the nation for over 150 years — yet remains largely unknown. With Tell Them We Are Rising: The Story of Black Colleges and Universities, the latest documentary from Stanley Nelson (Black Panthers, Freedom Riders) and Marco Williams, the powerful story of the rise, influence, and evolution of HBCUs comes to life.

Screening is to be followed by a brief discussion.

An additional IN PERSON screening is scheduled for Thursday, February 17 from 3pm-5pm in SSC 3245. RSVP separately here: https://lu.ma/u2p4ocna
