Selma + gospel at the Central Library

It’s being heralded as the biggest movie event the San Diego Public Library has put together since moving to its expanded 350-seat digs at 330 Park Boulevard.

Ralph DeLauro has for years been heading up the library’s superb film program, a series that this column has been sorely remiss in shedding light on, particularly regarding their weekly Film Forum screenings. This will soon change. Check back next week for more on Ralph’s upcoming series.

Monday, June 8 marks a special night in the theater’s history. The Martin Luther King Jr. Community Choir San Diego, directed by Ken Anderson, will present a free concert of Gospel Songs and Negro Spirituals at 6 p.m., followed by a screening of the film Selma at 6:45 p.m.

For more information on the recital and Film Forum screenings, call the library at 619-236-5800 or visit them on the web.
