Directed by Raoul Peck, this 2016 documentary examines the painful history of racism in 20th-century America through the words of African American writer James Baldwin and a montage of photographs and video. The film brings to life Baldwin’s unfinished manuscript “Remember this House” through Samuel L. Jackson’s narration. “The film is unsparing as history and enthralling as biography,” wrote critic Joe Morgenstern in the Wall Street Journal.
Leaders of the Black Student Union will moderate a post-film audience discussion.
