We’re excited to share the history of Asians in America with the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC with a special screening of Far East Deep South and post-film discussion with us and some local leaders. For those who’ve seen our film, you know that a Bible figures prominently in our story. Starting August 6th, 2022, that Bible will be on loan for an exhibit at the Museum of the Bible for six months. The museum is a beautiful, state-of-the-art institution and we’re thrilled to share our story with a whole new audience.
It was our dream that the Bible and other artifacts from Mississippi would travel on loan to museums around the country so more people would learn of this history. The pandemic delayed those dreams but we are so glad they are finally coming to fruition. We hope this will be the start of many partnerships with museums across the U.S.
The screening on August 6th is free with a general admission museum ticket plus get 25% off tickets for that day. Just add the Far East Deep South event to your ticket and be sure to use code FEDS22 to get 25% off.
