SUMMARY:The Hidden History of Slavery in New York Film and Q&A
DESCRIPTION:FREE for members; $10 for non-members \nTogether we’ll watch and discuss The Hidden History of Slavery in New York\, a 30-minute documentary that digs deeply into an infamous chapter in our country that largely hasn’t made its way into the history books. Featuring Bryan Stevenson\, founder of the Equal Justice Initiative\, we learn how the Transatlantic slave trade was centered in the north\, not the south\, in the 17th and 18th century —with New Amsterdam as its epicenter—and Wall Street as its largest slave market. \nWith a debate raging in the US about what should and shouldn’t be taught about slavery\, this film is as important and timely as ever and a fitting beginning to Black History Month. \nAbout the presenter: Larry Epstein is a two-time Emmy award-winning documentary and news producer\, journalist\, writer\, anchor and corporate copywriter. Larry is a former executive producer at MSNBC\, and former senior-level producer at the Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network.

SUMMARY:“Thoughts & Prayers” Screening and Talkback
DESCRIPTION:FREE for members & non-members \nThis HBO documentary film\, directed by Emmy-award winners Jessica Dimmock and Zackary Canepari\, examines the normalization of gun violence in America through the vast industry of preparedness that has arisen in response.

After the screening\, we’ll hear from the directors about the making of the film and the major lessons they learned. \nWatch the trailer here. \nThis program is presented in partnership with Shames JCC on the Hudson and Moms Demand Action Westchester. \nDoors open at 6:15 pm and the film will begin promptly at 6:45 pm.
