Ava DuVernay
Writer and director extraordinaire Ava DuVernay created a film exclusively for the museum with an all-Black team both in front of and behind the camera, which highlights the date of August 28. On that date in different years, many events occurred that tell the story of Black American history, including Emmett Till’s murder, the March on Washington Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” speech, the day that Hurricane Katrina made landfall, and the day that then-Senator Barack Obama accepted the Democratic party’s POTUS nomination.
