“A Great and Mighty Walk” - A film about the life of John Henrik Clarke
Dr. Clarke was most known and highly regarded for his lifelong devotion to studying and documenting the histories and contributions of African peoples in Africa and the Diaspora.
Dr. Clarke is often quoted as stating that "History is not everything, but it is a starting point. History is a clock that people use to tell their political and cultural time of day. It is a compass they use to find themselves on the map of human geography. It tells them where they are, but more importantly, what they must be."
The life of John Henrik Clarke, his work and his character together have created a symbol that inspires greatness.
The film is 90 minutes long and is a “must see” event for every member of the family. It is narrated by Wesley Snipes and will be followed by an interactive discussion. Show time is 7pm.
