NEW VENUE! Join us at Lakewood Seward Park Community Club for a powerful evening as our partners screen Wade in the Water: A Journey into Black Surfing and Aquatic Culture.
This groundbreaking documentary weaves together untold stories of Black surfers—past and present—while reclaiming the rich, thousand-year legacy of Black connection to water.
Through stunning visuals, deep history, and modern-day testimony, the film dives into the ways Black communities have been pushed to the margins of surf culture, and how they’re taking back the waves, the water, and the narrative.
✨ Featuring a special guest Q&A with the filmmaker David Mesfin following the screening!
🌱 All ages welcome.
🍿 Light refreshments provided. Free and open to the public.
Let’s gather to celebrate joy, resistance, and our enduring ties to water.
