The 1619 Project, a book by Nikole Hannah-Jones that explores the role of slavery in the US and its legacy, has been transformed into a Hulu miniseries. Join us monthly for a viewing of an episode followed by a discussion led by a different pair of facilitators each session.
Doors open at 5:45 pm for refreshments. Registration required.
