Clayton Library and Museum, presents rare and historically significant films by and\/or about African Americans. This weekend the AACS is hosting a screening and discussion of Imitation of Life (1934). Directed by John M. Stahl, the film tells the story of the friendship between Bea Pullman (Claudette Colbert) and Delilah Johnson (Louise Beavers) as they start a business together that earns them a fortune. Although Delilah has financial success, her teenage daughter, Peola, rebels and uses her light skin to pass as white and experience a different life.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/curatingla.com\/cla\/legacy-images\/organizations\/maymeClayton_logo.jpg"}
