February 28th: Movie Night - If Beal Street Could Talk

On Thursday 28th, we will have the film discussion, not a 5:30 but a t 7:00 so that more people can participate. The film chosen is If Beal Street Could Talk based on James Baldwin eponymous novel.

Fonny and Tish are in love, and this protects them from their respective families and the outside world until Fonny is falsely accused of rape. He is jailed and held before trial. Tish finds out she is pregnant and her family, while concerned that she is quite young, gives her support for the coming baby. They help her find a lawyer to defend Fonny, hoping to find evidence to free him before the baby is born.
