Trinity at the Movies: American Fiction
October 25 at 6 pm in the Café
Monk is a frustrated novelist who's fed up with the establishment that profits from Black entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, he uses a pen name to write an outlandish Black book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain. The movie will be followed by a guided group discussion for those who want to stay. People are welcome to bring snacks and drinks.

Start with a guided tour of 10:30 by our own member Dawn Whitney followed by “Frances Perkins: A Woman’s Work” is a one-woman show that tells the story of the first woman to hold a Cabinet position—Secretary of Labor Perkins, whose sacrifices and leadership ushered in a range of progressive social reforms in the first half of the 20th Century and who overcame the burden of being “the first” woman in the U.S. government from the Depression, the New Deal era, through WWII. As the primary architect of the New Deal legislation, Perkins gave us Social Security, the 40 hour work week, a minimum wage, child labor laws, and more. Show goes from 12:15 pm to 1:30 pm
