Three filmmakers capture perspectives from behind the counters of their favorite neighborhood spots to show the spectrum of experiences among Black small-business owners and their communities. These businesses include Studio Sole, a sneaker consignment shop; Harriet's Bookshop; and Mosaic on a Stick - mosaic studio and community art space in St. Paul Minnesota.

The films will be followed by a group discussion with Evelyn Phillips, PhD, professor and chair, anthropology department, CCSU.
