Eliza Film Screening

Based upon extraordinary true events, this is the story of Eliza Rone, an enslaved woman who, in 1856, worked for the richest family in St. Louis – the Campbells. Eliza’s enslaver, Robert Campbell, was a member of Washington University’s Board of Directors, and his sons attended WashU. The screening will be followed by a discussion with panelists including the film’s co-director and co-writer, Delisa Richardson; Executive Director of the Campbell House Museum, Andy Hahn; and actors Kazia Steele (Eliza Rone), Meg Davis (Virginia Campbell), Tom Taylor (Robert Campbell).
