Film Screening: The Light of Truth<\/h1><\/h2><\/div>
The Light of Truth: Richard Hunt’s Monument to Ida B. Wells<\/em> is a documentary film about the creation of the monument honoring civil rights activist, journalist, and women’s rights advocate Ida B. Wells<\/strong> by sculptor Richard Hunt<\/strong> from Chicago. By intertwining Hunt’s artistic process with the history of Wells’ heroic struggle for anti-lynching laws and women’s rights, we discover how Wells has inspired the justice fighters of our time.<\/p>\n
TheAmerikazentrum is presenting the documentary for the first time in Germany, in conjunction with the American commemorative holiday <\/em>Juneteenth and the 30th anniversary of the sister city partnership between Hamburg und Chicago<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n
The event is made possible with the generous support of the Ausw\u00e4rtige Amt<\/strong><\/em>, the U.S. Consulate General Hamburg<\/strong><\/em>, and the Senatskanzlei Hamburg<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The 2024 US elections will significantly shape the global political landscape. Their outcome will not only influence the future of the United States but also critically shape European-American relations.
