About The Event

Join us on Monday, January 20, when the Cleveland Museum of Art opens its doors for a free daylong celebration honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Celebrating Black Stories spotlights Black narratives that transcend national boundaries, culture, and language with films in English, French, Zulu, and even ASL! These films share the joy, determination, resilience, and complexity of being young and Black while underscoring the vibrancy of Black storytelling.

Ages 8+

In English or with English subtitles

This program is presented in partnership with New York International Children’s Film Festival.
