TRIBECA Online Film Festival Coverage 2021
After over a decade of covering films, this will be my first experience with TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL (June 9-20th) Disgraceful on my part I know, seeing as it's only 2 hrs tops from Philly.

I wanted to ask Jennifer Hudson during the Press Conference, if she got to wear any of the Queen's actual clothing, but my question...

Fifteen years before Rosa Parks refused to surrender her bus seat, a full decade before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned separate-but-equal legislation, Pauli Murray was already knee-deep fighting for social justice. A pioneering attorney, activist, priest and dedicated memoirist, Murray shaped landmark litigation—and consciousness— around race and gender equity.
