In celebration of this year’s annual BHM theme of “Black Resistance,” we will be screening two films that showcase the unique ways in which black folks have sought solace in our humor and one other. After each film, there will be a brief Q&A with the cast & crew. Following the screenings stay for the kickback — music, drinks, and great vibes!

Hysterical Justice

Hysterical Justice analyzes the plight of Black America through the lens of humor as it examines the fight for social justice throughout American history. By implementing a combination of standup audio, archival footage, interviews, and reenactments, this piece is able to illustrate further how black humorists are able to laugh through the pain and continuously strive for comedic greatness!
