Black Holocaust, Black Genocide: First to Say Goodbye!

A cultural-educational program featuring the groundbreaking documentary Black Holocaust, Black Genocide: First to Say Goodbye delves into the enduring impact of slavery in America, addressing critical issues such as reparations, systemic oppression, and the choice between integration and self-determination. Anchored by the screening of this powerful film, the program includes insights from distinguished scholars Dr. Joan Bryant (Syracuse University), Sharif Anael Bey (National Moorish Science Temple of America), and Student-Minister Dr. Mark Muhammad (Nation of Islam). The documentary traces the Black Holocaust from the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade through systemic abuses like sharecropping, lynching, Black Codes, and the exploitation of the 13th Amendment. It challenges America to confront its history and poses urgent questions about the path forward for Black Americans and the nation's commitment to equality and reparations. A community discussion, accompanied by refreshments and music will follow the screening.
