2/ This powerful film traces the history of African Americans and the criminal justice system since the ratification of the 13th Amendment following the Civil War. This film will give you some important context to the anger that people are feeling across America right now.
3/ I encourage you to join us in watching and discussing the film. We all simultaneously push play on the film on Netflix or YouTube at 8pm. You can communicate with others via the hashtag #histflix
Here is the trailer to the film.

5/ Tonight after the movie, I’ll also be announcing this month’s donation from generous Histflix donors to the Children’s Center in Detroit @ChildrenCtr
6/ I’ve also teamed up with the people at #docuhistory and the Duke University Forum for Scholars and Public’s who will be doing an encore viewing of the film next Thursday at 4pm to be followed by a streamed Q&A with academics discussing the issues presented in the film.
7/ You can watch that live or after the fact but I will be sharing your questions and thoughts from tonight with the panel.
I hope you can join us! Please share with your friends.
