MID WINTER DINNER & A MOVIE screening event
on Saturday, FEBRUARY 20, 2010

CHILES
The dinner table is set as Randal, a young Black man, attempts
to impress his future, Mexican in-laws. Add in a side of language barriers, a helping of cultural differences, a bowl of
Chiles and this table heats up into what turns out to be one fun, comedic and heartwarming take on that ever-dreaded
'meeting of the parents.' (15 minutes)

Roxbury's Black History trolley tour: Boston's Black community has been on the move politically, socially, and artistically for centuries. The free Black community was once centered in the North End in the 1700s. As the population grew and new opportunities became available, the community moved first to Beacon Hill in the early 1800s and then the South End in the late 1800s. By the first half of the 20th century, the highlands of Roxbury eventually became the center of Black Boston, although the community has since continued to grow into Dorchester, Mattapan, and the suburbs.

Join this informative and exciting trolley tour as it travels through three centuries of Boston's historic Black neighborhoods. Follow the progression of the Black churches, gain an appreciation for the importance of the arts, and learn about the movers, shakers, and strivers of their time.
