Celebrate Black History Month with Documentary Club today! We'll be watching Sam Pollard and Llewellyn M. Smith's thought provoking film, South to Black Power. Screening at 5:30 PM

About the Film 📽

Charles M. Blow, New York Times columnist and best-selling author of The Devil You Know: A Black Power Manifesto, sets off across the country on a personal journey. Along the way, he meets with politicians, historians, community activists, colleagues, friends, and family members to test his theory on Black Liberation, which involves a daring strategy for Black Americans to move to southern states to control legislatures and gain greater political power.
