CineCulture Film Series

A Story of Bones Screening

Join the Office for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion as they partner with colleagues at CineCulture, POV, OSU Tulsa, Tulsa Community College, Circle Cinema, and the National Endowment for the Arts to bring you this quarterly film series. The first in the series is A Story of Bones.

Film synopsis:
As construction environmental officer for St. Helena’s troubled airport project, Annina van Neel learns about an unmarked mass burial ground of an estimated 9,000 formerly enslaved Africans. Haunted by this historical injustice, she and African American preservationist Peggy King Jorde fight for their proper memorialization, exposing the UK’s colonial past and present.

Free admission and a Q&A with special guest Kristi Williams after the film. Kristi is a Tulsa Race Massacre descendant and activist, chairperson of the Greater Tulsa African-American Affairs Commission, and a featured speaker for YWCA’s Stand Against Racism Campaign.
