Resita Cox with DeVante Hudson | Freedom Hill | Beyond the Lens

Filmmaker Resita Cox and DeVante Hudson of The Chisholm Legacy Project speak with Tina McDuffie, host of Local, USA, about FREEDOM HILL and the story of the historic Black town. Cox shares her own story to the making of film including an education of Princeville and environmental racism while Hudson provides a perspective of organizing, planning and obtaining resources within communities.
FREEDOM HILL: Sitting atop swampy land along the river, Princeville, NC was deemed uninhabitable by white people but left the land available for freed enslaved Africans. Now with each flood, a little more of the all Black town, once called ‘Freedom Hill,’ erodes. A film by Resita Cox.

AfroPoP: The Ultimate Cultural Exchange spotlights contemporary stories reflecting the spirit, ingenuity and resilience found among people of the African diaspora. AfroPoP recognizes that nonfiction - and Afro-futurism in particular - has provided a critical tool for Black storytellers to define present and future realities on their own terms, giving Black storytellers the necessary space for new conversations, investigations and observations. By embracing fiction and nonfiction stories, AfroPoP acknowledges that there is no distinction in the power of both genres to offer audiences deep insight into the global Black Experience.
