Let’s Keep Talking!
ACTOR (A Continuing Talk on Race)
---
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
In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, our September A.C.T.O.R. will feature a special film screening:
IGUALADA: Refusing to Know Your Place
Sunday, September 27 | 5:00 PM,Busboys and Poets – Shirlington
Igualada tells the remarkable story of Black Colombian activist Francia Márquez and her journey from rural Colombia to the national political stage, where she launched a historic campaign that challenged the country's political establishment.Through Márquez's story, the film raises questions that resonate far beyond Colombia: Who gets to have political power? Whose voices are heard? And what happens when people who have historically been told to "know their place" refuse to do so?
The screening will be followed by a brief community conversation about race, identity, political power, representation, and the connections between the Black and Latino experience throughout the Americas.
