Description
Join The Boston Globe in partnership with the Museum of African American History for the Virtual Black History Month Film Festival screening and discussion of "Jubilee, Juneteenth and the Thirteenth."
The documentary portrays the influential but often overlooked role that African Americans in Boston and Massachusetts played in the events that led to the abolition of slavery in the United States, as well as explores the importance of the African Meetinghouse.
A discussion will follow after the screening and feature Dr. Kerri Greenidge, Mellon Assistant Professor in the Department of Studies in Race, Colonialism, and Diaspora at Tufts University; Dr. Kellie Carter Jackson, Associate Professor in the Department of Africana Studies at Wellesley College; and Sylvia Stevens-Edouard, M.S., Senior Community Relations Director for Liberty Mutual Insurance in conversation with the Globe's Meghan Irons.
