Description

Join us for a special Black History Month screening of The Six Triple Eight, the remarkable true story of the only all-Black, all-female battalion to serve overseas during World War II. Against the odds, these trailblazing women overcame discrimination and adversity to make a lasting impact on history.

Come and be inspired by this powerful story of courage, resilience, and determination. Don't miss this opportunity to celebrate and reflect on the extraordinary contributions of these pioneering women.

Settle in with a cup of tea and make yourself a delicious toastie sandwich while you watch.

This is a free event, and all are welcome.
