Film Viewing: "I'm Not a Racist... Am I?"

I'm Not Racist Am I?
March 23, 2015
4:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Mershon Auditorium

I’m Not Racist… Am I? is a feature documentary about how this next generation is going to confront racism.  We asked 12 teenagers from New York City to come together for one school year to talk about race and privilege in a series of workshops and in conversations with friends and family members.  None of these teens think that the racial rules of their parents’ generation apply to them today.  Through some tense and painful moments, we see how these difficult conversations begin to affect their relationships, and ultimately challenge them to look deep within themselves.  By the end of their time together, we’ll see these courageous young people develop deeper bonds, a stronger resolve and a bigger, more significant definition of racism than any of us ever imagined.
