Virtual Screening of Documentary “13th” In Honor of Black History Month

As part of Black History month, Washington for Justice is partnering with Jacqueline Arreola LLC to host a screening of the documentary “13th,” directed by Ava Devernay. This film gives a historical perspective of racial injustice in the United States, as well a focus on the mass incarceration epidemic in the U.S, which overwhelmingly affects the black population, black men in particular.Let’s watch this together and have a discussion afterwards about the information. This is intended to be a positive learning experience, however, the film does contain content that may be difficult for some to watch.
