Let There Be Light screening & Artists’ Conversation
This portrait of African American inventor, engineer, poet, artist, and American Civil War veteran Lewis H. Latimer is told through the experiences of his wife, Mary, on the eve of Lewis's historic modification to the incandescent lightbulb. Following the screening, join us for an Artists’ Conversation with Let There Be Light director Jon K. Jones and lighting designer Quincy Drane who has created a cinema-inspired light installation on the Museum’s first floor, “Magic Hours.” Lewis Latimer House executive director Ran Yan will moderate the conversation.
