Join us for a viewing of the documentary, The Black Angels: A Nurse's Story, and post commentary by the producer Denetra Hampton. The story is hailed out of Staten Island, N.Y. and tells the untold heroism of African American nurses who risked their lives to care for patients with tuberculosis, when there was no cure and white nurses refused.

It gives a focused perspective from the life of Black Angel, Marjorie Tucker Reed, while sharing intimate conversations with Marjorie and her nursing journey before her death, during production. With an ensemble of characters, the documentary pays homage to the contributions of these nurses to medicine, science and research.
