SUMMARY:Documentary Film Screening | Raised/Razed
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of the Emmy and Telly Award–winning 
 documentary film "Raised/Razed" followed by a discussion with the film’s 
 writers and directors\, Lorenzo Dickerson and Jordy Yager. The film dives 
 deep into Charlottesville’s oldest African American neighborhood\, 
 Vinegar Hill\, charting the lives of residents as they faced racially 
 discriminatory policies and a city government that saw them as the only 
 thing between it and progress. The story examines the hard truths of the 
 federal Urban Renewal program and the broader history of its effect in 
 Durham\, North Carolina\, and other communities across 
 America.\n\nFilmmaker Lorenzo Dickerson is the founder of the Maupintown 
 Film Festival and Maupintown Media\, which produces documentary films that 
 focus on sharing stories of African American history and culture in 
 Virginia. Journalist Jordy Yager is the digital humanities director at the 
 Jefferson School African American Heritage Center\, where he helped launch 
 the African American Oral History Project and the Mapping Cville and 
 Mapping Albemarle projects\, the region’s first comprehensive mapping of 
 every property record containing a racial covenant. \n\nThis event is one 
 of a series of programs highlighting stories of displacement in Virginia 
 communities as part of the Library's programming related to the exhibition 
 “House to Highway: Reclaiming a Community History\,” on view through 
 Feb. 28\, 2026. Exhibition-related programming is provided with support 
 from Virginia Humanities and the Mellon Foundation. \n\nThis is a free 
 event\, but registration is required. For more information\, contact
