'Decade of Fire' community film screening
From the event description:
Join the Fair Development Roundtable and Community Wealth Builders for a free community film screening and discussion with Vivian Vasquez Irizarry, film director and producer. Throughout the 1970s, fires consumed the South Bronx. Black and Puerto Rican residents were blamed for the devastation even as they battled daily to save their neighborhoods. In "Decade of Fire," Bronx-born Vázquez Irizarry pursues the truth surrounding the fires – uncovering policies of racism and neglect that still shape our cities, and offering hope to communities on the brink today.
When: Friday, May 31, 6-8:30 p.m.
Where: Friends School Auditorium, 5114 N. Charles St.
