The Graziadio Center is delighted to invite you to our final event of the the Fall 2024 semester.

We are partnering with the Africana Studies department to bring you a screening of the short film Il Moro. It will recount the untold story of Alessandro de’ Medici, the first Duke of Florence in 1530 and the first man of African descent to become a head of state in Renaissance Europe. While unveiling a true story from the past, the film aims to speak loudly of the situations that Black Europeans are still experiencing today and to celebrate today's Afro-European community in the history of the continent.

Following the screening, Daphne de Cinto, the film's director, will discuss the film and answer any questions during a Q&A with the audience.

This event will take place in FCS-008 on Tuesday, November 12th at 11:00AM. We look forward to seeing you there!
