Join the ATL Francophonie Festival for the film screening “Claude McKay, wanderings of a rebellious poet”, directed by Matthieu Verdeil.

Synopsis:

A rebellious voice of the Harlem Renaissance, Jamaican poet Claude McKay spent two decades traveling the world, immersing himself in artistic and political avant-gardes while building an enduring body of work.

From Jamaica to Morocco, via USA, England, Russia and France, this film is a captivating voyage through the 1920s in the footsteps of this great vagabond writer.

This remarkable documentary portrait, illustrated with rare archival footage and photographs, told by his own words narrated by Gaël Faye, and set to a stirring soundtrack, brings his legacy to life. His famous century-old anti-lynching poem If We Must Die resonates with today's Black Lives Matter movement, revealing continuities of struggles and resistance he inspired.

Let’s Chat at Halfway Crooks

Halfway Crooks Beer, 60 Georgia Ave SE, Atlanta, GA, US
Let’s keep it casual and connect at Halfway Crooks in Summerhill. We’ll speak French (all levels welcome!) and we’ll talk about whatever! Please bring as many friends as you would like. I will post where we are sitting on the day of the event. You can drop in as you wish. I don’t expect you to stay the whole time, unless you want to. There is a large paid parking lot down the street. Halfway Crooks has food, bites, and beer, plus non alcoholic beverages.

Also, I love hosting these meetups! They do cost money to run. If you are able to, please consider donating my Pledge fund! The link is in our Edgewood French Language Meetup bio :) Merci tout le monde!
