Description:

Let’s Keep Talking!

ACTOR (A Continuing Talk on Race) 

This month we’ll be doing something a little different. This month, we'll be viewing and discussing a powerful new documentary:

W.E.B. Du Bois: Rebel With a Cause (Runtime: 1 hour, 52 minutes)

This compelling film takes us on a sweeping journey through the life and enduring legacy of one of history's most remarkable minds — scholar, activist, author, and fearless fighter for civil rights, W.E.B. Du Bois.

Born just five short years after the Emancipation Proclamation, Du Bois spent his entire life daring to imagine — and fight for — a world built on justice and equality. His story carries us all the way to August 27, 1963, the eve of the historic March on Washington.

A close look at Du Bois' life is a reminder of what lifelong dedication to a cause truly looks like. His words, his courage, and his commitment to the dignity of Black people continue to resonate loudly in our world today.

As always, attendance is FREE and open to the public — Just bring yourself, an open mind, and your voice. ALL are welcome.

We do hope you'll join us. Come on out, bring a friend, and let's keep the conversation going together.  

A.C.T.O.R. (A Continuing Talk on Race) is a public discussion series. It provides the opportunity for people to come together and speak openly and honestly about issues of race, class and culture. The intent is that each person walks away from the discussion feeling something: challenged, educated, uncomfortable, enlightened, refreshed, reassured and hopefully inspired and moved to action!

On the last Sunday of each month, there is a new topic for discussion
