September 2022 Special Update

By Any Means Necessary: Film Screening and Discussion In partnership with The Reginald F. Lewis Museum October 18, 2022 | 6pm to 8pm Free - RSVP Required Spurred on by an organization’s interest in the stories behind those we see every day at our city’s intersections, By Any Means Necessary contextualizes this sector against the history of “hustle” or gig economies in the Black community. It provides interviews with those who participate, allowing for first-person accounts of the “why” behind squeegeeing and presenting the concept that the reasons and the participants are not monolithic.
