Pick Of The Week
Screening: Baldwin Abroad
Saturday, January 18
7:00pm at the Center for Public Secrets, 573 S. Peoria Ave.
No better way to prepare yourself for the confluence of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and Inauguration Day. Presented by Dreamland Tulsa, these three newly restored short films follow American writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin across Istanbul, Paris and London in the late '60s and early '70s. If you're asking "should I stay or should I go?" in this era of national chaos, stop by and listen to Baldwin as he thinks about moving abroad and/or staying rooted with the aim of transforming his home country.
