Back to All Events
Join Beacon Public Library for the final installment of the Peekskill Riot docuseries. The episode examines the aftermath of the 1949 riots and the widespread efforts to surpress and rewrite this history, including the erasure of Paul Robeson’s legacy. This powerful conclusion highlights how the cover-up was just as harmful as the riots and why remembering this history remains essential. Filmmaker Jon Bennett will be present to introduce the film and lead a discussion following the screening. Register at the link below.
