Enjoy a free screening of "The Inquisitor," a documentary film exploring the life and legacy of Barbara Jordan. In 1972, Jordan became the first Southern Black woman to join Congress. In a world dominated by white men, she moved with deft skill, earning both their respect and their fear. At a time when the idea of a Black woman holding power seemed inconceivable, Barbara Jordan created a roadmap for change. "The Inquisitor" chronicles the life of Representative Jordan, whose electrifying voice and moral clarity during President Richard Nixon’s impeachment captivated the nation.

Directed by Angela Tucker, this free screening is shown in partnership with PBS station KMOS

Adults and teens. (95 min., not rated)
