You are invited to an in-person screening of the short film Il Moro – The Moor.  It recounts the untold story of Alessandro de’ Medici, the first Duke of Florence in 1530 and the first man of African descent to become a head of state in Renaissance Europe. While unveiling a true story from the past, the film aims to speak loudly of the situations that Black Europeans are still experiencing today and to celebrate today's Afro-European community in the history of the continent. Along with the screening, there will be a virtual Q&A with the director, Daphne di Cinto. It will take place on Monday, April 20th at 10:00am in AS-384.
