Cost of Inheritance Film Screening + Conversation
Join this screening of the Cost of Inheritance at Mother Bethel AME Church. Building on key issues of diversity and democracy; slavery and its aftermath; and socio-economic indicators, the Cost of Inheritance puts real people and their family histories into the reparations debate. The screening of the film will be followed by a conversation with Sistah Patt Gunn, an acclaimed Gullah Geechee storyteller, activist, and small business owner who is a descendant of Africans enslaved in Georgia who is featured in the film, and Representative Chris Rabb, who has traced his own lineage linked to enslavement. The conversation will be moderated by Rev. Carolyn Cavaness, pastor of Mother Bethel AME Church. Register in advance.
This film screening is one of a series of two screenings on the occasion of Juneteenth. Co-sponsored by reparationWorks, the Grassroots Reparations Campaign in collaboration with Mother Bethel AME Church and Central Philadelphia Friend Meeting.
