The Historic HBCU Photograph

Mon, Sep 8 7:30 P.M. NH World (11.3)  

Inspired by the iconic 1958 photograph "A Great Day in Harlem," alumni from the nation's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) gathered for a momentous event on the steps of Morningside Park in Harlem to recreate a powerful moment symbolizing unity, resilience, and the enduring spirit of a community born out of the historic denial of education to African Americans in the United States. THE HISTORIC HBCU PHOTOGRAPH captures this remarkable event and explores the important role the nation's HBCUs have served in advancing social justice and equality for African Americans in the face of systemic racism. Through personal recollections and insights of the alumni participating in the event, the film not only commemorates this moment in history but also celebrates the resilience and solidarity of the HBCU community.
