The Duxbury Bay Maritime School is honored to host André Robert Lee on Friday, November 4th for a screening of his documentary, The Prep School Negro. André is an award-winning author, educator, filmmaker, and keynote speaker who promotes equitable systems for a greater tomorrow. His work has been showcased by BET, Dreamworks, HBO, PBS, Universal and most recently CNN. 

The Prep School Negro is Andre’s own story as an underprivileged teenager who received a full scholarship to an esteemed Philadelphia prep school, The Germantown Friends School, where he attended in the 1980s and teaches today. Andre leads us through his struggles as a scholarship student to find his identity and place of belonging while living in two very different worlds.  The messaging of the film aims to inspire important conversations that lead to a greater understanding of one another and a desire to live as conscious, kind-hearted individuals.

Space is limited so reserve your tickets by going to dbms.org. Tickets are free for all and open to students and adults.

Beyond maritime education, the Duxbury Bay Maritime School’s mission to provide access for all to the Bay is rooted in accessibility and inclusivity.
