The Iconic Gathering: The Power of Diverse Women Film Project
In our inaugural cinematic lecture we bring together six iconic women, Harriet Tubman, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Zora Neal Hurston, Mary McLeod Bethune and Mary Peake. And in this gathering we intersect lessons learned from women-led movements with pressing issues of today.
Discussion Point: On September 17, 1849, Harriet Tubman escaped slavery. She would return many times to free others through the legendary Underground Railroad. Harriet became one of the most iconic women in our history, and because of her, we have the freedoms we have today. Today, women are still experiencing inequities in health, economics and education, this film takes you through historical women-led movements that continue to be a beacon of light for solutions today.
Pre-Screening Book Event: Research is a critical component of our cinematic lectures. Join us for a special book event featuring cast members in period attire performing monologues about the books that inspired the film.
