Present a free community cinema screening of NEGROES WITH GUNS.
Credited with inspiring the Black Power movement, Robert Williams led his North Carolina hometown to defend itself against the Ku Klux Klan and challenge repressive Jim Crow laws. NEGROES WITH GUNS follows Williams's journey from southern community leader to exile in Cuba and China, a journey that brought the issue of armed self-defense to the forefront of the Civil Rights Movement.
Following each screening will be a lively discussion with special guests Mabel Williams, activist and wife of Robert Williams, filmmaker Sandra Dickson, and former Revolutionary Action Movement member Banbose Shango.
The discussion will be moderated by Kojo Nnamdi, WAMU host of The Kojo Nnamdi Show and WHUT host of Evening Exchange.
Space is limited. RSVP recommended: itvs.cinema@gmail.com
