The Williamsville Hall Presents: Dan DeWalt performing an original soundtrack, live on piano, to the 1920 African American film, "Within Our Gates," on Friday, February 24, and Saturday, February 25, at 7:30 PM. The show runs for 90 minutes; admission is by donation as it is a fundraiser for the Hall, located at 35 Dover Rd in Williamsville. Masks are kindly suggested.

"Within Our Gates" was created in response to "The Birth of a Nation," which depicted white Southerners needing the Klu Klux Klan to protect them from bloodthirsty Blacks. Micheaux's film shows the reality of Dixie racism in 1920 when a Black man could be lynched for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
