Underground History Documentary Film Screening and Community Conversation
When: Thu., Oct. 19, 6-8 p.m. 2023
The event will present Underground History, a documentary and gather feedback from the audience. Underground History is a film project which explores connections between St. Petersburg’s diverse cultural history and emerging community efforts to acknowledge that past. The project considers the links between the remaining archeological sites of the region’s Indigenous Ancestors, the displaced African American communities and erased black cemeteries, and historic waterways which once created a connectivity for these places and people. It poses the question, if a community fully acknowledge its past, can it develop a deeper sense of place and a better vision for the future?
