BLACK LOVE Classics Series - "Daughters of the Dust"

Daughters of the Dust tells the story of the Peazant family, a multigenerational and matriarchal group of women on the precipice of a life-changing decision. Set in 1902, the film shows the family as they each decide for themselves whether to stay on their island and practice the old ways. Guests are invited to stay after the screening for a discussion with University of Tampa film professor Taylor Raye Curry and others to explore some of the themes presented in Daughters of the Dust and consider its impact on Black cinema.
