Screening will begin at 5:30 PM. Troy Mosley, Managing Director of Content for MPT, will be at the Museum to introduce the film before it begins.

Before the screening, join chief curator Jonathan Goldman at 4:30 PM on a tour of the new exhibit, The Underground Railroad: Freedom Seekers on the B&O Railroad.
