Join us for an exciting day in Nashville, Tennessee, at the iconic Belcourt Theatre, where we are delighted to host a complimentary film screening of "Ghosts of a Lost Cause." This event will not only showcase the film but will also feature two engaging panel discussions that delve into its significant themes. The film acts as a powerful springboard for our gathering, inspiring attendees to stay civically engaged and liberate spaces in their communities whilst leading with principles grounded in justice, equity, diversity, and inclusivity. Set against the backdrop of Kentucky, the documentary captures the poignant struggle to move a Confederate monument during the Black Lives Matter movement, revealing the personal stories, obstacles, and victories that resonate deeply with viewers. These narratives are sure to spark meaningful dialogue and motivate action well beyond the film's conclusion.
After the screening, a distinguished panel of experts including the film’s producers Gerry Seavo James and Sherman Neall II will lead a dynamic conversation, offering their valuable insights and viewpoints on the film's critical issues, as well as discussing the role of Southern grassroots organizing and the leadership of Black women in these movements.
