Come kick off Black August with a Spike Lee Joint 🎞️🍕

Black August is a month-long commemoration of the Black liberation struggle that honors political prisoners and all those who have sacrificed for Black freedom.

This Thursday, we are hosting a screening of Malcolm X, featuring Denzel Washington as one of the most dynamic leaders of the Black Revolution. The film traces all of Malcolm’s life from his family being terrorized by the Klan as a child all the way to his political organizing in the Nation of Islam and transformative pilgrimage to Mecca. The life of Malcolm X truly embodies the core principles of Black August study, fast, train, fight.

So join us this Thursday at Nuestro Barrio for a screening of Spike Lee’s Malcolm X to continue to remember those who gave everything for liberation and to recommit ourselves to that struggle today!
