Patricia Cukor-Avila help celebrate Black History Month with commentary and screening of the film “Talking Black in America”.

The documentary “Talking Black in America” Talking Black in America follows the unique circumstances of the descendants of American slaves and their incredible impact on American life and language. Speech varieties from the African American community reflect the imprint of African language systems, the influences of regional British and Southern American dialects, and the creativity and resilience of people living through oppression, segregation and the fight for equality.
