The Congressional Black Caucus will host a screening of “Why Is We Americans” on Friday, Sept. 30 at 5:30 p.m. at Planet Word.
The documentary is an intimate portrait of the family of Newark, N.J. Mayor Ras Baraka who merges art, culture, and politics in the fight for social justice.
There will also be a special presentation of “The Book of Baraka,” his Audible Original audio book that recounts his journey from poet to principal to peacemaker, through his own powerful, inspiring words.
Tickets are $15 and can be purchased on Eventbrite. The post CBC to host Newark mayor for doc screening appeared first on Washington Blade: LGBTQ News, Politics, LGBTQ Rights, Gay News.
