SBAN is headed to the National Association for Latino Community Asset Builders' (NALCAB) Conference this September 4 - 6, and we are looking forward to the special screening of "La Manplesa: An Uprising Remembered," highlighting the 1991 Washington, D.C. protest for civil rights. The film is directed by the passionate, award-winning documentary filmmaker, Ellie Walton, who also directed SBAN's documentary, "We're Still Here," which told the stories of communities and business owners fighting commercial gentrification in Miami’s Little Santo Domingo, Chicago’s Puerto Rico Town, and the Los Angeles neighborhoods Boyle Heights and East LA. Hope to see members of the SBAN network at the conference so we can debrief sessions and this special screening!
