As part of The Black Response Cambridge Juneteenth Celebration, the day will begin with a special screening of Where Do Black Men Live? at the historic Brattle Theatre. This powerful short film brings to life the housing stories of Black men in Cambridge, exploring themes of resilience, community, and systemic injustice through their own words.

Following the screening, a conversation will feature Ukumbwa Sauti, a renowned scholar of masculinities and media, in dialogue with filmmaker Cori Spencer. Together, they’ll reflect on the film’s themes and engage the audience in meaningful discussion about storytelling, liberation, and community-building.

The Play Café is thrilled to support this larger celebration by hosting the Children’s Play Area at the Cambridge Common festival that follows—creating a joyful, inclusive space for kids to play, imagine, and connect.
