Weekly HBO film Southern Rites Screening
Join us every Wednesday at 2pm for a free screening of the HBO film Southern Rites, by Gillian Laub. Please call to confirm screening.
Southern Rites, an HBO film, follows photographer Gillian Laub as she returns to the community in Georgia where she documented segregated proms that garnered national attention when her photographs were published in 2009. The proms are now integrated; but in the aftermath of a fatal shooting of a young black man and in the midst of a heated local election, the community still grapples with issues of race that extend well beyond the senior prom. Directed by Laub, the documentary was executive produced by acclaimed musician John Legend.
