Join PATOIS and The New Orleans Film Society for a special screening of MLK/FBI on Thursday, February 25 at 6:30 p.m. CST. (The screening will take place online.)

As a part of Black History Month, the screening will be followed by a conversation with Sam Pollard, New Orleans artist and activist Shana M. Griffin, and New Orleans cultural advocate Renard Bridgewater, a member of the Eyes on Surveillance coalition.

The New Yorker describes the MLK/FBI as: “a new documentary, directed by Sam Pollard, which investigates the investigators in the age of Hoover. Specifically, with the aid of declassified documents, Pollard explores the Bureau’s campaign to spy on the Reverand Martin Luther King Jr.—to record his words and deeds, and, given the chance, to wield them against him. As an internal F.B.I. memo read, “We must mark him now as the most dangerous Negro in the future of this Nation.”
