Library to Screen “I Am Not Your Negro”


Tompkins County Public Library will host a free screening of “I Am Not Your Negro,” Wednesday, June 7, 2017 at 5:45 p.m. in the BorgWarner Community Room.

Directed by Raoul Peck and narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, “I Am Not Your Negro” is based on James Baldwin’s unfinished manuscript, “Remember This House.” It explores the history of racism in the United States through Baldwin’s memories of civil rights leaders Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. and shares his personal observations on American history.

This screening is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Tom Burns at tburns@tcpl.org.
