Date:  Monday December 15, 2008 @ 7:00PM.  Michele will be there for a hopefully lively Q & A.

Address:  343 Lenox Avenue (b/w 127th & 128th Streets)

If you can’t make the screening pick up your own personal copy of the film on Amazon.com.

We ran down the street to be part of the exhilarating celebration of this historical victory.

Am very very proud to be a Fort Greene resident! YES WE DID!
