Friday: Special Outdoor Screening at GreenSpace@President Street

This Friday Night in the GreenSpace@President Street (President Street Garden), come check out a special outdoor screening of a documentary called OLD SOUTH by Danielle Beverly.

Can a garden heal a divided community?

FREE screening FRIDAY, JULY 10 at sundown (8:45ish)
GreenSpace@President Street (corner of Fifth Ave)
Running time, 54 minutes filmmaker Q and A after the showing

"On one block in Athens, Georgia, two communities steeped in history—one black, one white—strive to keep their respective legacies relevant in a changing American South. Residents eventually experience unexpected reconciliation through the creation of a community garden that lays the seeds of healing, growth, and the possibility for change."
