This film screening organised by Manchester Metropolitan University is in collaboration with Pamela Roberts, an award-winning historian, playwright, and director that brings to life Roberts’ Eccles Centre Visiting Fellowship research featuring the lives of four African American women from the Washington black elite and their contributions to Civil Rights c.1900.
Following the film, there will be a Q&A with Pamela and two actors from the play.
