Black History Month Event - An evening of short films & discussion: NIAAS members celebrated Black History Month by watching two short films - "Underground" & "Reggaeton- La Clave" and a discussion about the histories and influences of African Americans and immigrants.
"Underground" is a short film told through song about a father's escape from slavery after learning that the plantation owner is going to sell his young daughter, Emala. With another enslaved woman, they strike out in the dead of night singing, spirituals to protect them on their perilous journey to freedom. (19 min). "Reggaeton - La Clave" is a fascinating musical documentary film about the similarities between two types of music genres known today as Salsa and Reggaeton and the African roots that influenced all of these different types of music (7 min clip). |
