SUMMARY:HBO Max Watch Party: T. Thomas Fortune Hits the Big Screen!January 24 at 8 pm at the Cultural Center.
DESCRIPTION:HBO Max Watch Party: T. Thomas Fortune Hits the Big Screen!  \n  \nRed Bank\, NJ – On January 24\, 2022\, HBO Max will start streaming a new series\,“The Gilded Age.” The show will feature the character of T. Thomas Fortune\, played by actor Sullivan Jones. It takes place in New York in 1882 during the American Gilded Age\, a time of economic change and conflict between the old world and the new world. The virtual watch party will start at 8 pm and will feature Jones\, who will join us in the party and discuss his role as T. Thomas Fortune. You must register at: fortuneonhbomax.eventbrite.com and all participants must have their own subscription to HBO Max to watch the series.  \nJones\, who visited the T. Thomas Fortune Cultural Center last spring after accepting the role\, learned the rich history of the trailblazing giant. Jones has big shoes to fill in his portrayal of Fortune\, who was born into slavery in 1856 in Florida. Fortune made a name for himself as a journalist and newspaper publisher\, during the Gilded Age in New York\, where his newspapers\, the New York Globe\, Freeman and the New York Age\, were published. Fortune was a dynamic orator\, who spoke truth to power and someone many politicians feared.  \nJones learned quite a bit about Fortune\, who started the first successful black political organization in 1887\, The National Afro-American League\, a precursor to the NAACP.  The actor spoke with Lynn Humphrey\, who is the Cultural Center’s archivist and she filled his cup until it runneth over\, with information on Fortune and his family. They lived in Red Bank from 1901-1910. The information Jones gained that day from his visit was assuring to the actor\, as he steps into this role. Most people have never heard of T. Thomas Fortune. However\, this highly anticipated series\, with Jones appearing in almost every episode\, will introduce them to Fortune\, who was a force to be reckoned with during this time.   \nThe show will also feature The Good Fight’s Christine Baranski\, And Just Like That’s Cynthia Nixon and Meryl Streep’s youngest daughter making her series debut. The T. Thomas Fortune Cultural Center will be hosting a watch party January 24 at 8 pm at the Cultural Center. This will be an exciting event celebrating Fortune on the big screen. Don’t miss it! \nFor more information visit https://www.tthomasfortuneculturalcenter.org/fortune-on-hbo and contact evelynfortunefoundation@gmail.com for further questions.
