HBCU Documentary To Screen At Q House Friday At 5 P.M.
|
Posted By: S. Moore on March 24, 2023 If you attended an HBCU — or want to learn more about the past 150 years of historically Black colleges and universities in this country — come out to the Q House on Friday for a screening of the documentary Tell Them We Are Rising. Dixwell Alder (and Morgan State University grad) Jeanette Morrison issued that call to attendance in a recent phone call and email exchange with the Independent. She noted that the 197 Dixwell Ave. community center will be hosting a screening of the 2017 PBS documentary, directed by Stanley Nelson and Marco Williams, at 5 p.m. on Friday. This is the latest screening in what has been five years in a row of the Board of Alders Black and Hispanic Caucus partnering with the city’s public library system in March, which is HBCU Awareness Month, to bring community members together to watch this movie and learn this history. “The goal of the Black and Hispanic Caucus is to ensure students and their parents are aware that HBCU’S are viable college options for our New Haven student population and that students should consider these schools as they not only provide academic excellence, but they also instill excellence of self,” Morrison told the Independent. She said Friday’s screening will be followed by a Q&A discussion moderated by Ms. Danielle Williams. She also encouraged graduates or people who attended any of the 120 HBCUs around the country, as well as members of any of the original nine African American sororities or fraternities, to come out and share their experiences.
