March Brown Bag Lunch

Wednesday, March 1, at 12pm

“Learned it in Back Days and Kept It” is a documentary film produced by Peggy Bulger in 1981. The film follows Lucreaty Clark (1903-1986) in rural Jefferson County, Florida as she creates a traditional white oak basket, a skill passed down from her grandparents who had been enslaved on Rindell Plantation outside of Monticello. In the documentary, Clark shares her wide repertoire of traditional African American songs, games, and folk knowledge essential to rural life. She was a remarkable representative of an era that seems very far away today. Bulger will hold a brief discussion after the 30-minute film.

Attendance is free and open to the public and attendants may bring their lunch. Seating is limited on a first come, first served basis. This program is wheelchair accessible.
