"United Skates" Documentary Screening (Duke School of Medicine)

"As America's last standing roller rinks are threatened with closure, United Skates spotlights a community fighting in a racially charged environment to save the underground African-American subculture of roller skating, which has been overlooked by the mainstream for generations--yet has given rise to some of the world's greatest musical talent." (HBO)

In celebration of Black History month and leading up to Black History Month Skate Night on February 27th, join us for a screening of the Emmy-nominated 2019 film "United Skates" in TSCHE 3025! We'll have pizza, popcorns, and drinks to share for the 1:29 run time – and hope we'll all leave with a richer appreciation of the African American tie to a tradition of skating.
