More Than a Month - a Presentation of Community Cinema

An African-American filmmaker sets out on a cross-country campaign to end Black History Month (BHM). He stops in various cities, wearing a sandwich board, to solicit signatures on his petition to end it. He explains that relegating BHM to the coldest, shortest month of the year is an insult, and that black history is not separate from American history. Through this thoughtful and humorous journey, he explores what the treatment of history tells us about race and equality in a “post-racial” US.
