'Paris Noir: African Americans in the City of Light'

Webster University will host the St. Louis premier of "Paris Noir: African Americans in the City of Light" on Monday, Jan. 15, for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.

 

The screening at 7 p.m. in Winifred Moore Auditorium on Webster University's main campus is free to the public, sponsored by the First Congregational Church of Webster Groves, United Church of Christ. The screening will be followed by a discussion with one of the producers, Julia Browne.

 

Weaving forgotten and little-known stories and themes from World War I, the Jazz Age of the 1920s, up to the German occupation of WWII, this compilation of vintage film footage and rare photographs documents a community of American expatriates in Paris free from the constraints of their oppressive home country.
