How does this film relate to Pasadena and what can we learn from our neighbors in Los Angeles?Light refreshments will be served prior to the screening. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsdu146cDcM" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">VIEW TRAILER HERE.</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsdu146cDcM" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>For more information and to watch the previous, shorter film, visit <a href="https://www.bikingwhileblack.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.bikingwhileblack.com/ </a>
