Green Book (12a) Black History Month at the Folk H

Friday 21th October

Come and enjoy this Oscar Winning true story with us and enjoy special food options. All proceeds to the York Racial Equality Network!

 

Dr Don Shirley is a world-class African-American pianist, who is about to embark on a concert tour in the Deep South in 1962. In need of a driver and protection, Shirley recruits Tony Lip, a tough-talking bouncer from an Italian-American neighbourhood in the Bronx. Despite their differences, the two men soon develop an unexpected bond while confronting racism and danger in an era of segregation.

We’re grateful for funding from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and Housing Trust to bring this special event to you at a reduced fee (all proceeds donated to charity!)
