Black Solidarity Day: Cuba in Africa Screening

This is the first event for Black Solidarity Day. Cuba in Africa is a 23-minute documentary that portrays the 380,000 Cuban soldiers, teachers, doctors, and nurses who gave everything to end colonial rule and apartheid in Southern Africa. We will be joined by the filmmaker, Negash Abduraham, for a discussion focused on this history, and current-day Cuba, the Caribbean, and Latin America. Moderated by Assistant Professor and Director of the Haitian Studies Institute Marie Cerat.

This event expands the international dimensions of Black Solidarity Day. Additional events will take place in the Student Center until 5 p.m.
