"Ota Benga" Film Screening & Discussion at Museum of African Art

I'd like to invite you to my brother-in-law's film screening of "Ota Benga" at the National Museum of African Art.  This is a premier screening of Niy Coker Jr.'s critically acclaimed film "Ota Bega."  The film documents the life of a Congolese man exhibited at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair and the Bronx Zoo. 

There will also be a candid discussion about representations of African and African American masculinity in literature, film, and visual art.  The program also includes a docent-led tour of the exhibition "Conversations: African and African American Artworks in Dialogue."  Light refreshments will be served.
