Interview with Robe Imbriano and Viewing of Amend

****Event held at the Ossining Public Library – The Budarz Theater

The Ossining Library, the Ossining Village Historian, and the Bethany Arts Community welcome Robe Imbriano, creator and Executive Producer of Amend, the six-episode Netflix series starring Will Smith about the 14th Amendment and America’s struggle with inequality. He has spent decades in television and documentary examining the American experiment and was an Executive Producer of ABC’s Soul of a Nation, the very first launch by any major broadcast network of a series about Black life in America. Imbriano has also produced and directed over 20 award-winning classroom films about the Constitution, including one about Lily Ledbetter which won the ABA’s Silver Gavel Award.

He taught journalism at Columbia University, and his Sunday Op-Ed in The New York Times about his trouble as a Black man catching a cab in New York, “I’ve Got Your Number,” was somehow republished in an anthology of writing  alongside Langston Hughes, Roald Dahl, and Harper Lee.

Ossining Village Historian Joyce Cole will interview Robe about his work, and we will present an episode of Amend, followed by questions from the audience. Registration is required; seating is limited to 50 registrants. Masks and social distancing are required.
