A film history presentation spanning 100 years. It is impossible to capture and catalog a comprehensive collection of photography, film, and music that
sufficiently reflects all that African Americans have brought to the ever-evolving culture of the United States over the past 100 years. But in this presentation, John LeGear examines some of the many ways African American writers, musicians, and performers have enriched “The American Experience” for all of us who live and thrive here.
Please join us for this lyrical and informative multi-media presentation, one that reveals the beauty and genius of truly outstanding performances. A brief question & answer period with open discussion will follow the show.
