The Free Library is excited to have Vincent Williams and Len Webb provide a live broadcast of their podcast, the Micheaux Mission. Two Men. One Podcast. Every Black Film Ever Made. Join us to review and discuss the Top Ten Black Films that started as books. The conversation will be exciting, enlightening, entertaining, and engaging. The SKYLINE Room is located on the 4th Floor, take the gold elevators from the lobby. 

A deliberate departure from ’70s “blaxploitation” films, this big-hearted dramedy touches on feminism, the Black Power movement, African heritage, and more. Over the weekend of her daughter’s wedding, long-suffering Gladys Ann is moved to confront her domineering husband. But it doesn’t depart too far because there’s a D’Urville Martin sighting!

Join us for a post-screening conversation with Vincent Williams and Len Webb of the local film podcast The Micheaux Mission!

As part of the IDIC Podcast Festival (presented by Women at Warp), the Men of Micheaux examine the misstep of "Galaxy's Child" from Star Trek: TNG's 4th season, when the Enterprise swerves our good 'brother' -- Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge -- into some toxic and icky waters.
