CSWG Film Club: Screening of "Daughters of the Dust" with Post-Screening Discussion
Following a multi-generational family of the Gullah community – descendants of West African slaves who have preserved and retained many of their ancestors’ Yoruba traditions – the film explores the community's struggle to maintain their cultural heritage. As the first wide release by a Black woman filmmaker, Julie Dash’s Daughters of the Dust was met with critical acclaim and rapturous audience response.
For those who know their pop culture, Daughters of the Dust was the inspiration for Beyonce’s visual album, Lemonade.
