TPT’s film sreenings draw local residents, leaders, and organizations together to discuss what matters most, from newsworthy topics to family and relationships.

Due to popular demand, we are holding an encore screening and panel discussion of Tell Them We Are Rising.

Tell Them We Are Rising explores the pivotal role historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) have played over the course of 150 years in American history, culture, and identity. Stanley Nelson’s film reveals the rich history of HBCUs and the power of higher education to transform lives and advance civil rights and equality in the face of injustice. Learn more about the film here.
