Details

Join us Thursday, March 30, 2023, for a free screening of the Netflix documentary, DESCENDANT, followed by a live Q&A with the film's producer/director Margaret Brown and co-producer/co-writer Kern Jackson.

In the film, descendants of the survivors from the Clotilda celebrate their heritage and take command of their legacy, as the discovery of the remains of the last-known slave ship to arrive in the United States offers them a tangible link to their ancestors.
