Thursday, September 5, 6:30-8pm, The Hub on Kenny, 4510 Kenny Rd.

The United States owes a lot to its pioneers — the people who tamed the wilderness. But why is the history of certain American settlers still largely concealed?

“Secrets under the Parking Lot” shines a light on some of that hidden history, examining the legacy of one African-American family in central Ohio.

Central Ohioans for Peace

Monday, August 26, 7-9pm, Columbus Mennonite Church, 35 Oakland Park Ave.

Today’s program: a screening of “Hidden Colors 4” (120 minutes)

This film is the fourth in a series of films exploring the real and untold history of people of color around the globe. This installment explores the motivation behind European global subjugation of people of color, the history of the vast West African empires, the ways that germ warfare has been used on people of color, and the slave breeding farms in America. Because this is a longer film, our discussion after viewing it will be short.
