The International African American Museum, in partnership with the Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture, invites you to an evening of reflection and dialogue with historian, author, and filmmaker Vincent Brown, featuring a screening of his latest film, How Do You Remember the Days of Slavery 

Renowned for his groundbreaking work exploring the African Diaspora and the legacies of enslavement, Brown brings history to life through powerful visual storytelling that bridges continents and centuries. In How Do You Remember the Days of Slavery?, he examines how communities across the globe remember and interpret the history of enslavement—revealing how these memories continue to shape our collective understanding of identity, justice, and belonging. 

Following the screening, guests are invited to join a moderated discussion with Vincent Brown that delves into the film’s themes, creative process, and contemporary resonance. Together, we will explore how remembrance functions as both a historical practice and a form of diasporic connection — linking lives, stories, and struggles across time and place.
