Join us for a special conversation and free, outdoor, film screening of The Sun Rises in The East (58minutes), the first feature-length documentary by Black-Owned Brooklyn that chronicles the birth, rise and legacy of The East, a pan-African cultural organization founded in 1969 by teens and young adults in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. The panel discussion will be moderated by C. Zawadi Morris and will feature Cynthia Gordy Giwa and Tayo Giwa (the directors), and Kweli Campbell.

Made possible thanks to Black-Owned Brooklyn, NYC Parks, NYC Department of Youth and Community Development, and NYC Department of Cultural Affairs.
