Save the Date! On June 12, join us for a Juneteenth film screening of The Blackening (2022), with a discussion to follow presented in partnership with Sherman Church.

In this horror/comedy, seven black friends reunite for a Juneteenth weekend getaway, only to find themselves trapped in a cabin with a killer who has a vendetta. Will their street smarts and knowledge of horror movies help them stay alive? Probably not.

The screening begins at 5:30pm - no registration required.
