There will be a book discussion before the film screening at the Spades Park Library starting at 5pm. Amelia's Bread will be providing complimentary coffee during the discussion.
One State / One Story: All That She Carried is presented by Indiana Humanities in partnership with the Indiana Center for the Book
and the Indiana State Library as part of Indiana Humanities’ Advancing Racial Equity Project, supported by Lilly Endowment. The film, THE WOMAN KING, and the book, "All That She Carried," explore themes of strength, resilience, and the experiences of women of African descent.
"All That She Carried" is a poignant story of resilience and love passed down against steep odds. It honors the creativity and resourcefulness of people who preserved family ties when official systems refused to do so, and it serves as a visionary illustration of how to reconstruct and recount their stories today.
