Join us for a screening of "Freedom Hair," based on the true story of Melony Armstrong, who fought to start a natural hair-braiding business against immeasurable odds. For adults and teens.

Based on the inspiring true story of Melony Armstrong, a mother who works at a shelter for battered women decides to start a natural hair-braiding business to achieve financial independence for herself and others. To do so she must overcome unexpected obstacles imposed by a powerful cartel and the State of Mississippi.

Presented by the African American Resource Center.
