Join us in the Pearl Bailey room for food, fellowship, and film screening of "Born in the Struggle" by Kamasi Hill. "Born In The Struggle" is a documentary that explores the personal accounts of children born to 1960's & 70's radicals. During that era, there was a resurgence of pride, identity, and a reclamation of power and self-determination. Hill's family was a part of this movement.
This film explores the lives of people from that generation –who were the sons of and daughters of 1960’s & 70’s radicals. The film addresses the question – What was/is life like for the children of many of the 1960’s/70's Radicals? It explores their reflections and ruminations on their childhood, the influences of their parents, and how the activism of their parents affected their life. The driving narratives of the film will be people like Tupac Shakur, Ayanna Gregory, Fred Hampton Jr, Ras Baraka, Tanehisi Coates, and Dave Chappelle.
