BHM Film Screening and Panel Discussion


February 24, 2024

Celebrate Black History Month with us!  This event is free and open to the community.

Always in Season explores the lingering impact of more than a century of lynching African Americans and connects this form of historic racial terrorism to racial violence today. The film centers on the case of Lennon Lacy, an African American teen who was found hanging from a swing set in Bladenboro, North Carolina, on August 29, 2014. Despite inconsistencies in the case, local officials quickly ruled Lennon's death a suicide, but his mother, Claudia, believes Lennon was lynched. Claudia moves from paralyzing grief to leading the fight for justice for her son.

Please note this film and discussion will include sensitive subjects, including suicide, lynching, violence, and grief.
