The third annual I, Too, Sing America Black History Month Film Festival takes place Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 22-23, boasting a selection of films and special presentations. The event is free of charge but seating is limited, according to a press release, and will take place at the Scottsdale Baha’I Faith Community Center, 6910 E. Shea Blvd.

This event is organized by the Baha’is of Scottsdale in partnership with the NAACP-Maricopa County Branch and the Phoenix Sankofa Project. This year’s theme is “African Americans & Labor.”

The release outlined a trio of movies to be presented across the two-day event, including “10,000 Black Men Named George,” “The Long Walk Home” and “The Six Triple Eight.”

A festival closing celebration will be held immediately following the final film, according to the release, boasting fellowship, food and music by the Afrobeats Jazz dynamic duo Kapsol Music, which boasts Keven Peart on saxophone and Israel Soloman on percussions.

“I, Too, Sing America captures the aspirations motivating this film festival: That America – as a country, idea and ideal in waiting – must seat everyone at her table,” the announcement states. “Building on more than a decade of programming by the Public Discourse & Social Action Task Force of the Bahá’ís of Scottsdale to further human rights, interfaith understanding and racial unity, the film festival offers the chance to learn about the African American experience through the art of cinema.”
