AFRICAN BEYOND thank-you

Thank you for supporting a great film series this past weekend. Our visiting filmmakers, Charles Burnett, Kevin Everson and Edwin Santiago, were impressed with Milwaukee and the "down-to-earth" vibe of the people they met. Thank you for making our weekend enjoyable and successful.
