"Raíces de mi Corazon" a Gallery 1978 BHM event

Gallery 1978 will offer a rare screening of \"Raíces de mi Corazon\" (\"Roots of My Heart\"), an independent short feature film which deals with the 1912 massacre of thousands of members of the Independents of Color, the first black political party outside Haiti. The party, one of the largest slave revolts in the hemisphere, was founded in 1908 in order to secure a rightful share for AfroCubans in a Cuba which had successfully marginalized them. This event is offered as part of Gallery 1978\'s Artist in Residence program. The featured Black History Month artist is Juan Antonio Picasso. For more information, go to www.1978artscenter.org
