Without the contribution of many African Americans\, who carried out the work of whalers\, anglers\, surfers\, sailors\, and more\, the world would be a very different place. Their contributions played a role in shaping various nautical communities across the world. One such contributor is Captain Bill Pinkney III\, a Chicago native\, who was the first to solo-circumnavigate the world via the Great Capes\, completing a 27\, 000-mile voyage. One of Captain Pinkney III’s favorite sayings was “The sea connects us.” \nMr. Robert (Bob) King is a retired IBM Corporation executive\, having held many different positions during his 30+ years of employment. King has served on many non-profit boards as a board member and has held leadership positions in many community organizations. \nWant to learn more?

The Sankofa Cinema Club usually meets on the fourth Wednesday of each month except for May\, November and December due to the holiday season. \nThe Sankofa Cinema Club showcases untold\, positive and accurate Black historical content within various aspects of life. The word Sankofa means literally “It is not taboo to go back for what you forgot (or left behind)” in the language Twi from the Akan tribe of Ghana. It also means if you forget and you go back to get it\, there is nothing wrong with it. \nWe will watch an enriching untold/hidden documentary and/or film together and have a fruitful and interactive discussion about it afterwards. I will try my best to get the filmmaker and/or related people to the content for a Q&A when possible. \nIn honor of Black Women’s History Month\, we are going to watch Move When the Spirit Move: The Legacy of Dorothy Foreman Cotton. \nDorothy Foreman Cotton was a bold and highly effective civil rights leader\, who educated thousands about their citizenship rights and inspired generations of activists with her powerful freedom songs. The only woman on Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr.’s executive staff\, Dorothy was a charismatic\, courageous and consistently overlooked key player in the Civil Rights Movement\, whose freedom schools\, freedom songs and messages of empowerment are profoundly needed today. \nPlease note that the cinema club will be recorded which I hope is ok. This is a pre-cursor/prototype for my streaming service which will launch September 2026 (God’s willing). Just like most things\, you have to crawl before you can walk. It will establish engagement by such a valuable learning experience and community to see your lovely faces. Plus\, you can have bragging rights by saying you were behind the scenes of a digital platform to preserve such a treasure trove of hidden Black history which we all need to know. \nSpread the word to all of your circles to join us as we embark on learning about our hidden Black history together! The more the merrier! All are welcome! \nPlease log on ten minutes before 7pm: \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/87024437746?pwd=tp0qWLV7v6cbnxqVEYdt76Bv0iPP35.1 \nor use the QR code on the flyer \nWe all know how technology can have a mind of its own. We will start at 7:05pm. I am looking forward to seeing you and yours there. Thank you. \nFor more information\, contact bridgetysmith1@aol.com \nRegistration required \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
