Chocolate Milk: The Documentary at Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Center

From the event description:

Chocolate Milk: The Documentary is an exploration of the racial divide in breastfeeding. Told through the narratives of three African American women — a new mother, a midwife and a WIC lactation educator — this film seeks to answer the longstanding question of why more African American women are not breastfeeding. By creating an engaging narrative centered around the challenges of breastfeeding, Chocolate Milk will spark public discussion on how communities can better support black mothers. Our goal is to premiere the film in 200 community screenings across the country during National Breastfeeding Month in August, 2019.

When: Saturday, Aug. 31, 2-4 p.m.
Where: Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Center, 119 Park Ave. West
Admission: Free
