    Dr. Bargeron

    Dr. Bargeron, award-winning documentary film director and producer of "Stubborn As a Mule", and Gator Rivers, world-renowned member of the Harlem Globetrotters (1973-1986) will discuss Dr. Bargeron's film "A Legacy Forgotten: Blue and Gold Pride" which canvasses the history of Savannah's Beach High School from its founding in 1867 and its history-making state championship team of 1967.

    "Stubborn as A Mule!" is an internationally award-winning film that presents an eye-opening depiction of lesser-known historical facts and contemporary commentary regarding the call for reparations for African-Americans. In the process, the film disseminates black history that is not taught in most educational systems.

    This lecture is sponsored by investment from the City of Savannah.
