Focused on the theme of migration and the formation of communities, the film screening of the award-winning documentary From the Quarters to Lincoln Heights will be accompanied by a talk with Director and Producer Mark Oliver and Co-Producer James Langford. Migrating from the southern US in the 1920’s to work in some of the world’s largest lumber mills, the film explores how unique communities of African Americans thrived in the multi-racial, rural, small towns of Weed, McCloud, Mt. Shasta and Dunsmuir, California and how they came to root themselves in such unlikely places. The screening will be followed by a discussion with the filmmakers and copies of the DVD will be available for purchase.
