Join Arts, Culture & Fun for a screening of More Than A Month, by Shukree Hassan Tilghman, a film from Emmy Award winning PBS series Independent Lens.

The filmmaker sets off on a cross-country campaign to end Black History Month.  His tongue-in-cheek journey explores the complexity and contradictions of relegating an entire group's history to one month in a "post-racial" America.

Filmmaker Shukree Hassan Tilghman will introduce the film and lead the Q&A.
