LWVFL Lunch & Learn Series


This week's webinar will feature a special program just ahead of Juneteenth. We will welcome esteemed filmmaker and Florida League member Valerie Scoon who will show an exclusive excerpt from her documentary Invisible History: Middle Florida's Hidden Roots on June 18th at 1:00 p.m. (ET).

We will also welcome two historians who are featured in the documentary Dr. Na’im Akbar & Dr. Patrick Mason. After viewing short excerpt from the documentary a lively audience talkback/Q&A session will occur with our special guests.

The documentary sheds light on the little-known history of plantations and the enslaved in Florida through a visually compelling story that explores the history of a people who contributed so much to what Florida is today. The documentary also puts a spotlight on the methods of systemic voter suppression used during Reconstruction which is a backdrop to the voter suppression tactics we see in our state and nation today.

When:
Friday, June 18, 2021, 1:00 PM until 2:00 PM
Where:
