Black History Film Series November – Something The Lord Made

Other Arts and Culture Discussion Movies

What’s Happening?

The doors to The Little Carver open at 5:30pm, and the film begins at 6pm.

Lab technician Vivien Thomas (1910-1985) an African-American without a college degree, is a gifted mechanic and tool-maker with hands splendidly adept at surgery. In 1941, cardiologist Alfred Blalock (1899-1964) and Thomas take on the challenge of blue babies and invent bypass surgery. In defiance of custom and Jim Crow, Blalock brings Thomas into the surgery to advise him, but when Life Magazine and kudos come, Thomas is excluded. Will he receive his due?
Immediately following the film, join us for the lively panel discussion.

ADMISSION IS FREE, BUT REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED!
