This event is a part of the Sunday Afternoon Black History PBS Film Series,co-sponsored by: WVIA, Black Scranton Project, Destination Freedom: Underground Railroad Walking Tour of Waverly, and The University of Scranton.

The films will explore the visions of freedom offered by the life of Harriet Tubman; the journey of the formerly enslaved Frederick Douglass; and how northern cities promulgated racial housing policies that continue to reverberate today. Events will include a 1-hour film screening followed by a 30-minute Q&A with discussants drawn from the co-sponsoring organizations.  

This event is a film screening of "Jim Crow of the North" followed by a discussion.
