From the 1860s to the 1920s, dozens of towns and counties across America practiced their own form of racial cleansing, violently expelling entire African American communities and forcing thousands of black families to flee their homes. A century later, these towns remain virtually all white. In BANISHED, filmmaker Marco Williams travels to three of these communities and asks: what can be done today to repair past injustice? BANISHED brings to light this hidden chapter of American history, telling these dramatic stories for the first time. Williams (Two Towns of Jasper) goes to these communities, following black descendants as they return to learn the shocking history of the towns where their ancestors once lived, and to speak with current white residents struggling to come to terms with their past. After the screening: Q&A hosted by Sherrilyn Ifill, professor of law at the University of Maryland Law School, author of "On the Courthouse Lawn: Confronting the Legacy of Lynching in the Twenty-First Century." Screening is FREE with reservation. Email banished[at]communitycinema-dc.org or call 202-939-0794.

By demonstrating that the spirit of punk could live in traditional Irish folk music, the Pogues became one of the most radical bands of the mid-'80s. Led by Shane MacGowan, whose slurred, incomprehensible voice often disguised the sheer poetry of his songs, the Pogues were undeniably political - not only were many of their songs explicitly in favor of working-class liberalism, but the wild, careening sound of their punk-injected folk was implicitly radical.
