Screening of 'American Denial' - CANCELLED
| Date: | Wednesday, February 18, 2015 |
| Time: | 7:00 - 8:30 PM |
| Description: | This event has been cancelled due to winter weather. "American Denial" tells the story of race in the 1930s and '40s in the U.S. via a study conducted by Gunnar Myrdal, a Swedish researcher (he won Nobel Prize for economics) and commissioned by the Carnegie Foundation. The study, "The American Dilemma," was cited by the U.S. Supreme Court in the Brown vs Board decision. The film also gets into the New Jim Crow, mass incarceration, the latest testing on implicit bias, framing, etc. The film is a good opening for a discussion on our reticence in discussing the issue of race in America. Following the film, Professor Mark Rabil and his fellow panelists will discuss the question: "Does American Culture represent equality?" |
