What's the 411 - Analyzing Race Through Film, Literature and Storytelling

Date: Feb 22, 2021 at 8:00pm to 9:00pm
" 'You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view … until you climb into his skin and walk around in it,' Atticus Finch At Black Belonging Matters, we believe in the power of experiential learning, and, in the transformational nature of open dialogue. We are proud of our discussion series, 'What's the 411 - Analyzing Race Through Film, Literature and Storytelling.' Led by our leadership team, including a professor, whose research centers around race and unconscious bias, - What's The 411 uses film and print to highlight the Black experience in America. Through these, live, weekly, virtual discussions, participants are invited to view life through lens and perspectives different from their own, and are encouraged to consider their own biases and prejudices. Most of all, participants are encouraged to harness the power of what they've learned, and to use that knowledge to do good. Our next group discussion will be of the new film, 'One Night In Miami.' Directed by Regina King, 'One Night in Miami' depicts a fictionalized meeting of Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown, and Sam Cooke. The men meet in February 1964, and are celebrating Ali's victory over Sonny Liston. This meeting of these four iconic civil rights leaders provides deep insight into that era, and promises to evoke transformational dialogue. Registration is limited, so sign up now to get the 411. See you there."
