TONIGHT! Lukolo invites you for film screening and practice of re-memory

[Maggie Hazel]

Tonight! 

 Lukolo invites you to join us tonight at 6-8pm at the Ramsdell Library in Housatonic for a film screening of 10,000 Black Men Named George and discussion in a practice of re-memory. 

In the novel Beloved by Toni Morrison, the concept of re-memory is central in the telling of Sethe's story.   A re-memory differs from a memory because it can be shared. The collective nature of class based experience creates re-memories, as it is known to more than one person. Sethe explains what a re-memory is to her remaining daughter Denver:

 " . . . Some things go. Pass on. Some things just stay. I used to

think it was my re-memory. You know. Some things you forget. Other

things you never do. But it's not. Places, places are still there. If

a house burns down, it's gone, but the picture of it-stays, and not

just in my re-memory, but out there, in the world. What I remember is

a picture floating around outside my head. I mean, even if I don't

think it, even if I die, the picture of what I did, or knew, or saw is

still out there. Right in the place where it happened."
