Join us for a screening of the award-winning documentary A Black Springs Homecoming: Finding History, produced by Nevada Humanities and directed by Tsanavi Spoonhunter.
A Black Springs Homecoming: Finding History tells the story of Black Springs—a small, historically African American neighborhood six miles north of downtown Reno, Nevada—and the ability of its residents to establish an enduring sense of community in the face of widespread racial discrimination and economic hardship.
The 27-minute film will screen at 11:30 am, followed by a conversation and Q&A with Alicia Barber, Demetrice Dalton, Stephanie Gibson, Serene Townsell, and Helen Townsell-Parker.
This event is open to all. Free admission.
Support for this program comes from Nevada Humanities, Nevada Historical Society, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the John Ben Snow Memorial Trust.
