FILM SCREENING "Not for ourselves alone are we born": Honoring the Newark Swim Team
In-person
Hosted by The Newarkive
In 1981, after a years long fight advocating for Newark's children, John L. Smith pulled the community together to revive a dilapidated neighborhood pool. His organizing culminated in the creation of the championship-winning Newark Swim Team. This short documentary presents a portrait of Mr. Smith's story; how a haunting memory became a vision, and a vision became a life-changing community movement.
Featured Artists: LeRon Lee, Director
LeRon Lee + Yvonne Michelle Shirley, Producers
