Attend a special screening and discussion on the film Storming Caesars Palace. Defying notions of the ‘welfare queen’, Storming Caesars Palace reminds us that it is the disenfranchised who stand up for America’s principle of justice for all. During this free event, watch the award-winning film, hear from filmmaker Hazel Gurland-Pooler, Ruby Duncan’s daughter Sondra Phillips-Gilbert, and more, and connect with community members continuing Ruby Duncan’s legacy here in DC. Before and after the event, participants will have the opportunity to explore the collections of The People’s Archive on the 4th floor, as well as the exhibitions Up from the People (4th floor) and We Who Believe in Freedom: Black Feminist DC (1st floor).

Hosted in partnership with D.C. Area Educators for Social Justice, Empower DC, The DC Legacy Project, DC Poor People’s Campaign, Rising Organizers, Mother’s Outreach Network
