Film still of two black youths playing at the shore

WellWithAll, The Hutchins Center for African & African American Research, and Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr. are pleased to invite you to a screening and discussion of BLACK LONGEVITY. BLACK LONGEVITY began as an act of reverence — for the elders whose lives embody the very essence of what WellWithAll exists to protect and expand. This film reminds us that generational wellness isn't merely lived, it is passed down.
