Join us for Black History Month double feature exploring the themes of music and art. First up, Kindred Spirits: Artists Hilda Wilkinson Brown and Lilian Thomas Burwell (27 minutes), followed by the animated feature film Soul (101 minutes) to play right after. Enjoy! Kindred Spirits: Artists Hilda Wilkinson Brown and Lilian Thomas Burwell&nbsp;explores the unique relationship between an African American aunt and niece who became accomplished artists and educators despite the hardships of the Great Depression and the inequities of racial segregation. Throughout this exploration of their art and careers, a third portrait emerges:&nbsp;that of a segregated Washington, D.C. where, denied the same access and advantages as their white colleagues, Black artists seized educational opportunities, became prominent faculty members of African American schools, and established their own venues to exhibit and publish their work.&nbsp;Film image, synopsis and related credits courtesy of Cintia Cabib. SoulJoe Gardner is a middle school teacher with a love for jazz music. After a successful audition at the Half Note Club, he suddenly gets into an accident that separates his soul from his body and is transported to the You Seminar, a center in which souls develop and gain passions before being transported to a newborn child. Joe must enlist help from the other souls-in-training, like 22, a soul who has spent eons in the You Seminar, in order to get back to Earth.
