Black History Month: Milestones

During the month of February, the Paley Center will honor achievements and milestones in African-American culture with screenings of everything from the Million Man March, the Black Panther trials, and Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech to such groundbreaking shows as Julia, I, Spy, Roots, The Jeffersons, and I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. "The premiere screenings, panel discussions, and photography exhibits showcase both the Paley Center's dedication to giving its members a multidimensional and interactive experience and the many ways in which the media has played a role in documenting key moments and issues in African-American culture." Pat Mitchell, President and Chief Executive Officer, The Paley Center for Media http://www.paleycenter.org
