Cycles of Resilience Austin Premiere

Join Black History Bike Ride for the Austin premiere of "Cycles of Resilience: A Journey Through Austin's Black History" - an inspiring feature-length documentary directed by acclaimed filmmaker Ya'Ke Smith.

On Black History Bike Ride's 6th annual Juneteenth Ride, hundreds of cyclists journey through Austin's rich Black history - from the State Capitol to Huston-Tillotson University to iconic venues like Victory Grill. This powerful film explores the transition from plantation sites to freedom communities, examines the impact of the 1928 City Plan's "Negro District" in East Austin, and celebrates the contributions of community leaders like Jacob Fontaine and Barbara Jordan.

Through interviews with local Austinites and scholars including Dr. Peniel Joseph and Dr. Tara Dudley, an inspirational story of resilience and Black excellence unfolds.

What to Expect:

• Feature film screening (approx. 60 minutes)
• Red carpet photo opportunities
• Special surprises throughout the evening
• Celebration with cast, crew, and community

This documentary is making its world premiere at the American Black Film Festival in Miami and we're thrilled to share it with our Austin community.
