SUMMARY:The Lines We Cross Fall Film Showcase
DESCRIPTION:For over 250 years\, African Americans have crossed literal and symbolic lines to\nclaim their lives\, build vibrant communities\, and challenge the nation to live up to its\nhighest ideals. Join the Lewis Museum this fall for a day of film screenings exploring\nhow African Americans have used their voices\, determination and ingenuity to push\nboundaries and shape the social\, cultural\, and political landscape of America. A post\nfilm discussion with filmmakers will occur following most screenings. \nFeatures Films include:\n● 11 am – 12 pm | Harriet Tubman: Vision of Freedom (54 min) –\nConsidered one of the greatest freedom fighters in our nation’s history\,\nexplore the nuanced portrait of Harriet Tubman\, the “conductor” of the\nUnderground Railroad\, who repeatedly risked her own freedom and life to\nfree others from slavery.\n○ Note: October 2026 marks the 170th anniversary of the historic\n“Tilly Escape” in October 1856\, one of Harriet Tubman’s most\ningenious Underground Railroad rescue missions. Operating from\nCanada\, Tubman returned to Baltimore to rescue an enslaved\nwoman named Tilly at the request of Tilly’s fiancé. \n● 12:15 pm – 1:15 pm | In Search of Phillis Wheatley Peters (35 minutes) –\nDiscover the story that history left out.
