Not the 4th of July: and Why

Join us in film, music and intense dialogue addressing genuinely complex self emancipation agency. Freedom did NOT begin with the 4th of July. Freedom belonged to daring counter-colonial freedom warriors centuries before 1776, and afterwards. Their legacies form a resounding declaration of self-determined independence, without apology, hagiography nor vain promises. Regional African and Native people took freedom. Unlike patriots, paid in slaves and plantations, those warriors extolled the best of genuine liberty, justice and freedom. “Nobody can give you freedom, nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it." — Malcolm X
