TONIGHT - Join us for a Q&A on Zoom with Director Barbara Kopple and special guest Marc Morial (President/CEO, National Urban League) on January 19th at 6:30pm EST (Link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81055957195?pwd=NuS9NfZKmB6SK1ac4qDCSkkXNkHcDk.1 )
In the fight for justice, togetherness is our strength.
GUMBO COALITION follows two visionary civil rights leaders, Marc Morial and Janet Murguía, as they work to empower Black and Latino communities through four turbulent years in America. Directed by two-time Academy Award-winning filmmaker Barbara Kopple, GUMBO COALITION takes us on an intimate — and sometimes humorous — journey into their lives, homes, and the family histories that motivate their united mission to create a more just and equitable country. At a dramatic crossroads in American history, these leaders face some of their biggest challenges: the global pandemic, the murder of George Floyd, and the 2020 presidential election and its aftermath.
Marc Morial is President and CEO of the National Urban League. Janet Murguía is the President and CEO of Unidos US.
This virtual screening is sponsored in part by the New York Labor History Association (NYLHA), as well as the DC Labor FilmFest, and Global Labor Film Festival Network.
