Join us for an insightful evening featuring award-winning director and producer Laurens Grant, Co-Executive Producer of the powerful new docuseries Hollywood Black. Directed by Justin Simien (Dear White People), this series provides a definitive look at over a century of the African American struggle for representation, both in front of and behind the camera.
