Attend a free screening of the documentary film Speak My Name and I Shall Live Again at the historic Ervay Theater. In the film, Sacramento resident Sharon Styles explores the history of her family and a once-forgotten Bull Hill Cemetery in Marlin, located in Falls County, Texas. Many cultures believe people have three deaths. When they pass away, when they are buried and when their name is spoken for the last time. Watch as lost ancestors are found and the forgotten are remembered. Experience Sharon’s emotional journey to find her roots and seek answers about her family’s place in American history. After the film screening there will be a Q&A with Sharon Styles, Dr. Jim Bruseth, Dr. Nedra Lee and John Crain. To find out more about the film go here.
