No Vietnamese Ever Called Me N****r

Please note that this program was originally scheduled to begin at 6:30 pm and has been changed to start at 7:00 pm. 

The unflinching 1968 documentary No Vietnamese Ever Called Me N****r (68 min) follows 400,000 protesters as they march from Harlem to the United Nations building to decry the United States’ continued involvement in the Vietnam War. An electrifying portrait of the righteous anger of black anti-war protesters and veterans, director David L. Weiss captures the ways in which the black liberation and the anti-Vietnam movement were inextricably linked.

Introduction by film archivist John Klacsmann, who worked with the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture to restore this film. Post-film remarks by Dr. Robyn C. Spencer, professor at Lehman College.

Co-presented with Jessica Green at the Maysles Documentary Center as part of their non-fiction film series Made in Harlem: Class of ’68.  This screening is also part of our Activism on Film series, which is inspired by the Museum’s ongoing Activist New York exhibition.
