In remembrance of George Floyd and countless others, the FIU Foundation Office of Inclusive Philanthropy will host free screenings of Dudley Alexis’ film “When Liberty Burns” at the Black Archives Historic Lyric Theater on May 15 and 16.

The film explores the life and legacy of Arthur McDuffie, whose death at the hands of police sparked the 1980 McDuffie riots in Miami. The event is free and open to the public, with pre-registration, and it will also feature a community access event prior to the film screenings from 2 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. (both days) with health and wellness screenings, vaccine education, and more.
