SUMMARY:100 Years From Mississippi
DESCRIPTION:Free admission! The screening will be followed by a discussion 
 with filmmaker Tarabu Betserai Kirkland.\n\n \n\nSynopsis\n\n \n\nMamie La
 ng Kirkland was seven years old when she fled Ellisville\, Mississippi in 
 1915 with her mother and siblings as her father and his friend\, John Hart
 field\, escaped an approaching lynch mob. John Hartfield returned to Missi
 ssippi in 1919 and was killed in one of the most horrific lynchings of the
  era. Mamie’s son\, Tarabu\, had grown up hearing stories of John Hartfi
 eld but didn’t know if his mother’s stories were fact or folklore unti
 l one day in 2015. Tarabu discovered an article describing Hartfield’s g
 ruesome murder before a crowd of 10\,000 spectators. At that moment\, the 
 film was born.\n\n \n\nMamie had vowed for a century that she would never 
 return to Mississippi. Yet with Tarabu’s remarkable find\, he urged his 
 mother to finally confront her childhood trauma by returning to Ellisville
 . Mamie was 107 when they began the journey to connect her story to the la
 rger impact of America’s legacy of racial violence\, which echoes today 
 from Ferguson to New York\, Atlanta to Los Angeles. Like many of the six m
 illion African Americans who left the Deep South\, Mamie’s story is a te
 stament to the courage and hope of her generation. Her indomitable will an
 d contagious joy of living is exceeded only by her ability to tell her sto
 ry now\, 111 years later. In a time of great social divisions\, 100 Years 
 From Mississippi gives us the simple wisdom of an ordinary woman’s extra
 ordinary life.
