Maafa short film for 26th annual celebration

The Maafa is back again for its 26th year. The annual celebration is in honor of reflecting on the African journey through the Middle Passage and the slave trade. Due to the pandemic, this year's event is being showcased in a new short film instead of a live play. Rev. David Brawley, pastor of St. Paul Community Baptist Church told us more about the event.
