“Eastville Community Historical Society focuses on the heritage of our founders who are living legends,” says Dr. Grier-Key. “A primary focus for us is keeping community central to our mission. In the tradition of Sankofa, we look to the past in order to bring forth all that is good for the future. We are looking forward to 'Generations Speak' to highlight the work of the elders.”

The archival footage from LTV will feature Eastville through the ages, highlighting its generational importance in the Sag Harbor community. After the screening, guests will gather in the Cinema’s Rosenberg workspace to discuss the ways in which generational knowledge is preserved, passed down, and celebrated.
