Back by popular demand, the Marcus Garvey Grass Roots School for Education and Liberation is hosting a Free Film Night on Saturday January 23rd at the Rupert I. Maynard Community Center, St. Peters. The film of the night is the highly acclaimed documentary “500 years later”. “Crime, drugs, HIV/AIDS, poor education, inferiority complex, low expectation, poverty, corruption, poor health, and underdevelopment plagues people of African descent globally – Why? 500 years later from the onset of Slavery and subsequent Colonialism, Africans are still struggling for basic freedom-Why? Filmed in five continents, and over twenty countries, 500 Years Later engages the authentic retrospective voice, told from the African vantage-point of those whom history has sought to silence by examining the collective atrocities that uprooted Africans from their culture and homeland. 500 Years Later is a timeless compelling journey, infused with the spirit and music of liberation that chronicles the struggle of a people who have fought and continue to fight for the most essential human right – freedom”. Doors open at 5pm, movie starts at 5:30pm. Admission is FREE! This event is sponsored by the Marcus Garvey grassroots school. ONE GOD ONE AIM ONE DESTINEY!!!!
