In honor of Women's History Month, join us, filmmaker Celeste Bateman, and the South Orange Arts & Cultural Affairs for a screening of Stronger Than Steel: The Senator Wynona Lipman Story, a documentary that explores the life of Sen. Wynona Lipman (1923-1999) the first African American Woman Senator in New Jersey (USA). It examines her family and remarkable achievements, highlighting legislative initiatives and career benchmarks. Firsthand accounts, historic photos, an audio track of Wynona’s own words, a music soundtrack and thoughtful interviews create a 360° portrait of the Senator. Fifteen interviewees examine the times in which she lived and how she navigated gender and racial discrimination to successfully enact over 140 Bills, many of which affect New Jerseyans today.
