New York, New York
New York, New York
Join us for a free night of music and movies. At 8:00 p.m., there will be a live dance performance by Urban Dance Alliance. At 8:30 p.m. the film "Stories from the Faubourg Tremé" (Dawn Logdson, USA, 58m.) will be screened.
Faubourg Tremé is arguably the oldest black neighborhood in America, the birthplace of the civil rights movement in the South and the home of jazz. Every frame of this film is a tribute to what African American communities have contributed even under the most hostile of conditions.
