Recently uncovered and unrestricted, this groundbreaking film will be shown and discussed by a panel of experts including Barbee's children Daphne Barbee-Wooten and Rustam Barbee, YWCA Madison CEO Vanessa McDowell, and local historian Betty Banks. Join the LIVE virtual event to reveal and reflect on Madison's hidden housing history on Sunday, April 18 at 6pm.
