LOUISIANA PUBLIC BROADCASTING
AND THE SECRETARY OF STATE’S OFFICE HOSTED A SPECIAL PREVIEW OF
THE PBS SERIES “WE SHALL REMAIN” ON APRIL 2
Director Chris Eyre and American
Experience Executive
Producer Mark Samels spoke at a special preview
of the five-part series We Shall Remain on
Thursday, April 2 from 6:00-8:00 PM at the State Archives Building.
The Archives Building is located at 3851 Essen Lane in Baton Rouge.
The American Experience series
tells the story of Native Americans in North America from the 1600s
to the present.
“You can’t understand America in the 21st century if
you don’t understand the Native experience,” Eyre says. “What connects
these five films is the resolve of their characters. This country
is founded on people striving, being tenacious and moving forward…this
is a look at that, through Native eyes.”
The event, which was underwritten by the Tunica -Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana, began with
a reception at 6PM that featured a performance by the Tunica-Biloxi
Singers and Legend Keepers. That was followed by a preview screening
and discussion with Eyre and Samels.
Thank you to our underwriters, presenters, and to YOU, our guests who attended!
