Description:
The Calfee Community & Cultural Center presents the premier of its first-event in house documentary "Stitched Together: a 23/54 Project Documentary" on Saturday, February 28, 2026 at The Pulaski Theatre.

"Stitched Together" weaves past and present to tell the powerful story of 23 courageous families who joined a historic 1947 lawsuit demanding equal educational opportunities for Black children, alongside the present-day community that has come together to learn about and honor their legacy. The documentary highlights not only the significance of the parents’ sacrifice, but also centers the voices of their descendants, revealing how this once-silenced history continues to shape—and unite—the community in unexpected and meaningful ways.

The evening will also feature live music by the Glorylanders of The New River Valley and the opportunity for attendees to view the commemorative quilt, which honors the families named in the lawsuit. The quilt will be permanently displayed in the African American Heritage Museum at the Calfee Center beginning in 2026.

This community event is free and open to the public; no RSVP is required.

In addition, attendees will be among the first to hear a special announcement that will be revealed during the premiere.

The community is invited to this evening of remembrance, reflection, and celebration as the Calfee Center honors the past, recognizes progress, and builds a stronger future together.

Doors open at 5:00 PM and the event starts at 6:00 PM.

The Pulaski Theatre is located at 14 West Main Street in Pulaski, VA.
