In They Will Talk About Us: The Charlton-Pollard Story, a young documentarian interviews a reluctant historian about the origins of the oldest Black neighborhood in the city [runtime: 33 mins]. Q&A with the filmmaker immediately following the screenings. Special thanks to the Latino Studies Program for partnering on this event.
