Whatever Happened to Idlewild?
Once called “The Black Las Vegas,” Idlewild was a wondrous place where African Americans could vacation and relax during America’s segregated Jim Crow era. Idlewild was an incredibly vibrant community from the 1920s through 1960s, but it is now far from being the luxury haven that it once was. The documentary “Whatever Happened to Idlewild” showcases the former “Black Eden” and proposes answers to what has come of the historical resort town. Following the screening of the film, we invite you to participate in a stimulating discussion led Coy Davis, director of “Whatever Happened to Idlewild.”
