Meeting

Thursday, September 5, 6:30-8pm, The Hub on Kenny, 4510 Kenny Rd.

The United States owes a lot to its pioneers — the people who tamed the wilderness. But why is the history of certain American settlers still largely concealed?

“Secrets under the Parking Lot” shines a light on some of that hidden history, examining the legacy of one African-American family in central Ohio.

Wednesday, September 4, 7-8:30pm, Bexley Public Library [auditorium], 2411 E. Main St.

We will be screening portions of the documentary “Jews Step Forward.”

Monday, August 26, 7-9pm, Columbus Mennonite Church, 35 Oakland Park Ave.

Today’s program: a screening of “Hidden Colors 4” (120 minutes)

This film is the fourth in a series of films exploring the real and untold history of people of color around the globe. This installment explores the motivation behind European global subjugation of people of color, the history of the vast West African empires, the ways that germ warfare has been used on people of color, and the slave breeding farms in America. Because this is a longer film, our discussion after viewing it will be short.

Thursday, August 29, 7-9pm, Goodale Park Shelterhouse, 120 W. Goodale St.

ComFest has scheduled a Special Meeting — apart from our regular published annual schedule — for August 29, and our bylaws require that this meeting be announced in a “community newspaper.”

Community Festival will hold a Special Meeting on Thursday, August 29, 7-9pm, at the Shelterhouse at Goodale Park. The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss how to rekindle and repair Unity, Value and Respect for each other going forward.

Living in Columbus, it’s not hard to see that the system is broken. We live under a reign of police terror where working-class black and brown youth are targeted for execution and imprisonment; Ohio State University and the city of Columbus have been working together to gentrify neighborhood after neighborhood; tens of thousands of students are getting into life-long debt for an education; ICE harasses undocumented immigrants with impunity; landlords and capitalists exploit and oppress us.
