Location: Rhatigan Student Center, Room 266

In partnership with Malcolm Carter and Cameron Harris, the Office of Diversity and Inclusion will be hosting a movie screening and discussion of In Our Words. Directed by Cameron Harris, this film explores what African Americans and Africans in the Diaspora in the United States, South Africa, and Europe experience. With a nod to the history of slavery and Jim Crow, Harris asked people of all ages and genders to share what it means to be Black today, and whether racism exists.
