🚨 This Saturday May 23rd 2-5:30! A Spike Lee film: Malcom X. The film is a front-to-back exploration of the life of Denzel Washington’s Malcolm X, from his childhood spent in foster care to his ascent to one of 1960s America’s most prominent and controversial civil rights activist. His leadership has emboldened people through half a century of struggle against oppression! Join us at the African Roots Center.
