What does it mean that we have black history month? What would it mean if Black History Month were no more? Would black history itself disappear or would it pave the way for a fervent new mission to ensure the inclusion of black history in education and society in all months?

 On Thursday February 16, at Kumble Theatre for Performing Arts at LIU, The YWCA of Brooklyn and LIU Brooklyn will present the Brooklyn premiere of the film “More Than a Month”, a film by Shukree Tilghman that addresses these poignant questions. The free screening is being held in association with WNET and ITVS and will also feature a discussion with the filmmaker.
