Here's another event that you might find interesting. Black History Month Film Showing. Come for the film. Stay for the discussion. Details listed below.

“10,000 Black Men Named George” depicts the courageous fight of African American sleeping car porters to win the right to collectively bargain and improve humiliating and sweatshop working conditions and poverty wages. Set in the 1920s, this inspiring film features Andre Braugher as union activist Asa Philip Randolph, a Black journalist and socialist, who organizes the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters for a twelve year battle with the Pullman Rail Company. A post-film discussion follows.

This event will be held at the Bread and Roses Center, 819 N. Killingsworth St., Portland (1/2 block west of N. Albina; bus lines #4 and #72)
