Event Details
The Lewes Public Library, Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice, ACLU of Delaware, and Cinema Art Theater present a film screening of Becoming Thurgood: America’s Social Architect followed by a Q&A session with the film’s director, Alexis Aggrey.
This landmark documentary explores the life and legacy of Thurgood Marshall, from his trailblazing legal battles to his historic role as the first Black Supreme Court justice. Featuring rare archival materials and interviews with leading HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) voices, the film reveals how Marshall helped America confront its deepest contradictions—and how his vision for justice continues to shape the country today.
Executive produced by Emmy Award-winning and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Stanley Nelson and MPT Senior Vice President and Chief Content Officer Travis Mitchell, the film is produced and directed by Alexis Aggrey, with music by two-time Grammy Award-winning composer Derrick Hodge.
This collaborative program by the Lewes Public Library, Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice, ACLU of Delaware, and Cinema Art Theater is part of a series in observation of America250, which commemorates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, marking America’s Semiquincentennial.
