Screening + Conversation w/ Art Alexander + special guests!
Black Community Television was produced in Portland in the 1980s, as part of Rogers CableSystems local channel lineup. Before BCTV, there was limited broadcast television coverage showcasing Portland's Black community. BCTV filled this void producing programs featuring Black intellectuals, artists, politicians, entertainers, and community leaders—raising visibility of Black life and culture in Portland.
Tonight's event includes a screening of BCTV programming, with a conversation to follow between 1803 Fund's Juma Sei and BCTV producer and host, Art Alexander + special guests.
