Join us for a special screening of Keepers of the Flame, directed and produced by Shari Lynette Carpenter, with Tia Dionne Hodge as Producer and Line Producer.
Set on the eve of the 1913 Women’s Suffrage Parade, this powerful film follows the relentless activist Mary Church Terrell as she, alongside leaders from Alpha Kappa Alpha and Delta Sigma Theta, challenges parade organizer Alice Paul on the racist exclusion of Black suffragettes from the movement.

Through Love, we are each created in God’s image and filled with the Divine Spark. No matter whom we love, no matter how we look, no matter where we are on our journey, God’s imprint is in every person of every race/ethnicity, every gender, and every sexual orientation. We believe God speaks many languages and is calling us on many paths to peace—Shalom. We believe that Love put on flesh—brown, poor, Jewish baby flesh—and came to live among us. We believe God lives among us still; we are the living body of Christ. We are the hands, feet, and heartbeat of God. We believe the Spirit of God calls us to freedom, and we are not free until all of us are free.
