Talk about a topic with community members and experts.
Go beyond the screen and discover the powerful true story that inspired Moses the Black.
Wrap up Black History Month by joining us at Lincoln Library for a special conversation with Reginald Berry, Sr., whose life journey from gang leadership and 18 years in prison led to redemption and purpose, becoming the foundation for the film.
Moses the Black follows Malik, a feared gang leader who returns to Chicago’s West Side seeking revenge, only to be confronted by the spiritual legacy of St. Moses the Black and the consequences of his choices. The film delivers a moving message about violence, forgiveness, and the courage it takes to change.
In this exclusive program, Reginald Berry Sr. will share his personal story, discuss the making of the film, and answer audience questions. His experience is a testament to the power of transformation and the truth that your past does not have to define your future.
This free program is open to the public. Don’t miss this inspiring opportunity to hear the real story behind Moses the Black.
