Event: James Baldwin Film Screening: I Am Not Your Negro 

Date: Sunday, August 2

Time: 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm

Location: Coolidge Corner Theatre

Description: This August, BRJE is celebrating James Baldwin’s birthday with a 10th anniversary screening of I Am Not Your Negro at the Coolidge Corner Theatre. One of the most influential figures in the American civil rights movement, Baldwin’s words on race, power, and American identity feel as urgent now as when he first wrote them. The film was nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 89th Academy Awards and won the BAFTA Award for Best Documentary. This is a screening you don’t want to miss.

We are excited to introduce our post-screening panelists:

Dr. Kandice Sumner and Malcolm Cawthorne
