About Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975
THE BLACK POWER MIXTAPE 1967-1975 mobilizes a treasure trove of 16mm material shot by Swedish filmmakers, after languishing in a basement of a TV station for 30 years, into an irresistible mosaic of images, music, and narration chronicling the evolution one of our nation's most indelible turning points, the Black Power movement. Featuring candid interviews with the movement's most explosive revolutionary minds, including Angela Davis, Bobby Seale, Stokely Carmichael, and Kathleen Cleaver, the film explores the community, people and radical ideas of the movement.
Music by Questlove and Om'Mas Keith, and commentary from and modern voices including Erykah Badu, Harry Belafonte, Talib Kweli, and Melvin Van Peebles give the historical footage a fresh sound and make THE BLACK POWER MIXTAPE 1967-75 an exhilarating, unprecedented account of an American revolution.

About Hidden Figures
Hidden Figures, by Margot Lee Shetterly, is the true story of African-American women who worked at the Langley Memorial Research Center in Virginia in the early years of the aeronautical industry. The expert work of these women in mathematics helped the industry advance and helped launch America into the space race. These women worked behind the scenes in the all black West Computing unit, and their work went unnoticed for decades, despite the fact that they masterminded some of the most important operations in the history of American space flight.

About The Farewell
The Farewell, by Lulu Wong, is about a Chinese family in America. Billi and her parents Haiyan and Jian emigrated to New York City from their native Changchun, China twenty-five years ago when Billi was only six. Billi is struggling to find her place in life and by association financially, she aspiring to be a writer, but the Guggenheim fellowship for which she applied and on which she placed much of her hopes has been denied. Billi maintains a close relationship with her paternal grandmother - her "Nai Nai" - back in Changchun via the occasional visit and frequent telephone calls. As is Chinese custom, Billi and Nai Nai tell each other little white lies both to save face and to prevent the other from worrying about the painful truth. Those little white lies turn into one big lie when Haiyan and his older brother Haibin, who emigrated to Japan years ago, learn that Nai Nai has just been diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer with the prognosis of only months to live, the diagnosis and prognosis which they and the rest of their extended family that knows decide to keep from Nai Nai herself. In a guise to spend one last time together as a family with Nai Nai, they devise a wedding, that of Haibin's only offspring, Hao Hao, to Aiko, his Japanese girlfriend of three months, as an event, with Nai Nai to be the chief organizer in Changchun. Haiyan and Jian don't want Billi to go to the fake wedding in being the weak link that may tell Nai Nai the truth in her western mores. Against her parents' wishes, Billi does end up flying to Changchun for the gathering in her want to say goodbye to her Nai Nai. As time goes on, it may be difficult not only for Billi but for others to maintain the ruse. But Billi and the others may also come to a better perspective of what is best for all concerned under the circumstances.

About Just Mercy A powerful and thought-provoking true story, “Just Mercy” follows young lawyer Bryan Stevenson (Jordan) and his history-making battle for justice. After graduating from Harvard, Bryan had his pick of lucrative jobs. Instead, he heads to Alabama to defend those wrongly condemned or who were not afforded proper representation, with the support of local advocate Eva Ansley (Larson). One of his first, and most incendiary, cases is that of Walter McMillian (Foxx), who, in 1987, was sentenced to die for the notorious murder of an 18-year-old girl, despite a preponderance of evidence proving his innocence and the fact that the only testimony against him came from a criminal with a motive to lie. In the years that follow, Bryan becomes embroiled in a labyrinth of legal and political maneuverings and overt and unabashed racism as he fights for Walter, and others like him, with thein odds—and the system—stacked against them.

What is it that makes you...YOU? Pixar Animation Studios’ all-new feature film SOUL introduces Joe Gardner (voice of Jamie Foxx) – a middle-school band teacher who gets the chance of a lifetime to play at the best jazz club in town. But one small misstep takes him from the streets of New York City to The Great Before – a fantastical place where new souls get their personalities, quirks and interests before they go to Earth. Determined to return to his life, Joe teams up with a precocious soul, 22 (voice of Tina Fey), who has never understood the appeal of the human experience. As Joe desperately tries to show 22 what’s great about living, he may just discover the answers to some of life’s most important questions. Directed by Academy Award® winner Pete Docter (“Inside Out,” “Up”), co-directed by Kemp Powers (“One Night in Miami”), written by Kemp Powers & Mike Jones, and produced by Academy Award nominee Dana Murray (Pixar short “Lou”), SOUL also stars the voice talents of Phylicia Rashad, Questlove and Daveed Diggs. It features original jazz music by globally renowned musician Jon Batiste, and Oscar® winners Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (“The Social Network”), from Nine Inch Nails, composed an original score that drifts between the real and soul worlds.

Through this virtual event, you will hear from campus and community members like Dr. Maulana Karenga (CSULB professor and chair of Department of Africana Studies, and creator of Kawanzaa), and leader from the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) of Southern California. We will discuss how Dr. King’s message is still ever prevalent today and how we may continue pushing towards a just and equitable world.

“It’s about the journey, not the destination”. Nominated for four Golden Globes and six Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay, King Richard puts a hard-hitting spin on the quote in the form of tennis. Venus and Serena Williams are two of the most recognizable names in tennis. The Olympic gold medalists have made a name for themselves in the history of American sports, but are you familiar with their father's integral role in their future athletic greatness? That's the story that the film, King Richard, is set to tell. Two-time Oscar nominee Will Smith stars as King Richard, a real-life amateur US tennis coach who fought his way up to help his daughters become the world’s most sensational winners. He’s a king who put queens before us, knowing how wonderful they were and certain that we would see it too. He created a space for us to believe in them, and King Richard shows us how he fought for that space, inch by inch and match by match.

The Last Black Man in San Francisco, is a love story many can relate to, about being betrayed and getting your heart crushed by a two-timing, social-climbing city. The Last Black Man in San Francisco, directed by Joe Talbot tells the true story of Jimmie Fails IV searching for home in the changing city that seems to have left him behind. After three years as a nurse in a seniors’ care facility, Jimmie comes back to San Francisco to reclaim the Victorian home his grandfather built in the heart of a rapidly changing San Francisco. Along with his roommates, Mongomery Allen and his blind grandfather, Jimmie is on a mission to reclaim the $4 million dollar home if not by Plan A, but Plan B. The 2019 Sundance Film Festival winner of the Directing Award: U.S. Dramatic and Special Jury Award is an impactful tale about skaters, squatters, street preachers, playwrights, and people who love and keep alive their hometowns.

Lana Condor made history as the first Asian American woman to take the lead in a young adult romantic comedy. But that was just the beginning of her incredible journey.

Lana Condor made history as the first Asian American female-lead in a young adult romantic comedy. Since then, award-winning actor and producer Condor has quickly become one of the most in-demand talents in the entertainment industry today!
Originally from Can Tho, Vietnam, Condor was adopted, alongside her brother Arthur, by her parents at four months old. Condor spent her early years on the East coast training in classical ballet at multiple prestigious dance academies. As a high school freshman living in New York, Condor took her first acting class and was hooked. During her sophomore year, Condor and her family moved to Los Angeles where she simultaneously danced alongside apprentices at the Los Angeles Ballet and developed her passion for acting by studying theater at the Yale Summer Conservatory for Actors. During her senior year, Condor booked her debut role as Jubilee in “X-Men: Apocalypse,” and has been pursuing her passions ever since.
Condor has starred in multiple films since such as DreamWorks and Universal Pictures animated film “Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken,” HBO Max’s sci-fi romantic comedy “Moonshot,” Netflix’s limited comedy series “Boo, Bitch,” and Netflix’s hit sensation “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” series. Her exceptional performances have earned her nominations for the Choice Drama Movie Actress category at the Teen Choice Awards and secured her the prestigious HCA Award: Next Generation of Hollywood at the Hollywood Critics Association Awards. Furthermore, Condor's talent has been recognized in several esteemed publications, including Forbes, Vanity Fair, Vulture and W Magazine, to name a few.
Condor has become a household name and a fast-rising star. With over 11 million fans (and growing), Condor now uses her newfound platform to generate awareness for causes near to her heart including The Asia Foundation, where she established a scholarship for underprivileged female students in Vietnam. In addition, Condor traveled back to Vietnam alongside Michelle Obama and Julia Roberts with the Girls Opportunity Alliance through The Obama Foundation to share stories about people who are supporting girls’ education.
