Event Details

Join filmmaker Craig Dudnick live on Zoom for a virtual discussion of his documentary about Anthony Crawford, an African American man who was born into slavery, became a property owner through Emancipation and Reconstruction, and was ultimately lynched in 1916 with the rise of Jim Crow. Follow the lives of Crawford's descendants and their allies as they fight for the passage of United States Senate Resolution 39, which apologized for the failure of the Senate to enact anti-lynching legislation.

Patrons are encouraged to watch the film, which is available for library cardholders to stream for free on Kanopy, but the presentation can be enjoyed whether or not the participants have seen it.

Register for Zoom link beginning Feb. 1.

This program is a partnership of the public libraries in the Town of Huntington.
