Celebrate Black History Month With Holy Hill
Hi Everyone,
I just love the responses from the youth who come out to the screenings of "Mattie, Johnny and Smooth White Stones: Parts I & II." Today, we screened the films at Adams Park Library in Atlanta and in the audience were three bright young ladies who asked the most amazing questions! Finally, after addressing them all and letting them know about the upcoming sequel, one of the girls asked me, "So what was it like (for you) being a slave?" ...priceless
Hey - if you're in the Atlanta area come out and Celebrate Black History Month with us at one of the screenings listed below. In the meantime, let me know how you're celebrating this month.
Peace and Blessings,
Cassandra
