Whats ABFF?
Now it its 27th year, the American Black Film Festival is an annual event that empowers Black artists and showcases a wide range of entertainment content made by and about people of African descent.
What is the black history of Martha's Vineyard?
“Martha's Vineyard was part of the underground railroad, so it was known as a safe and welcoming community for African Americans,” says Nancy Gardella, executive director of Martha's Vineyard Chamber of Commerce. “They didn't feel entirely welcome in other beach enclaves.”
