Through family pictures\, childhood videos\, and frank conversations with family members\, scholars\, and Latinas\, NEGRITA uses the director’s own personal history to illuminate the larger tapestry of shared experiences throughout the Black and Latino community. Hand in hand with women from the Dominican Republic\, Puerto Rico\, Honduras\, and Panama\, Albizu and her subjects collectively confront their own Black identities\, empowering themselves as Afro-Latinas. \nThis event is part of this year’s Civility Week activities.
