The Cost of Inheritance: Film Screening
Join us for a screening of The Cost of Inheritance with Black Gotham Experience at The LP Storefront! The film explores the history of systemic inequities in the United States and the current pursuit of reparations for African Americans.
This screening is part of the Council 400 series, which commemorates the African Diaspora’s impact on the territory of New York City from 1624 to 2024. Council 400 participants gather from October 9 to November 30 to investigate the 400 years of Black presence in NYC. The activities in the series are anchored by programming curated by the Black Gotham Experience with partner organizations, including a group exhibition, talks, wellness workshops, film screenings, and walks through Manhattan and Brooklyn. The activities engage participants to embody centuries of memories made obscure.
Refreshments will be provided.
ABOUT OUR PARTNER
Established in 2010 by artist/historian Kamau Ware, Black Gotham Experience creates media at the intersection of scholarship and aesthetics that illustrates the impact of the African Diaspora missing from collective consciousness as well as the public square. BGX reimagines the spaces directly impacted by the African Diaspora as human stories explored through interactive walks, talks, events, and art. At the heart of these experiences are five core stories that revisit Manhattan in 1623 and move forward through three centuries: Other Side of Wall Street, Sarah’s Fire, Caesar’s Rebellion, Citizen Hope, and State of Mirrors.
