Join us for a free lecture and screening of the documentary An American Story – Race Amity and the Other Tradition. The primary purpose of the documentary project, An American Story: Race Amity and The Other Tradition, is to impact the public discourse on race. In contrast to the lens that focuses exclusively on the racist traditions that are rooted in America’s social history, the moral counterweight of close, loving, friendship and collaboration, which have always been present in our history, represents “the other tradition.” This “other tradition” is a source of inspiration and presents models of behavior that are instructional and include unknown and uncelebrated legacies to be absorbed and emulated across generations of present day Americans. Register for this event on Zoom here.
Dr. William H. ‘Smitty’ Smith is the Founding Executive Director of the National Center for Race Amity and a Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame Awardee.
