"Racial Taboo" Screening Will Advance Local Unity Efforts
Oct. 8, 2015 | Mike Lang | State Journal Register
Springfield, IL - How did the racial stereotypes that permeate our society come into being? What are the most effective ways to get beyond these stereotypes and build a society worthy of our national motto — E Pluribus Unum (Latin for "Out of many, one)?
[These important questions are addressed in “Racial Taboo,” a 52-minute documentary coming to the Springfield, IL Convention Center on Oct. 17. Following the screening, participants will learn about Constructive Conversations on Race, “a proven program” that is bringing people of diverse backgrounds together. Such conversations have been occurring in Springfield for the past 19 months and have “led to many honest, non-accusatory discussions about race and to a significant number of interracial and inter-congregational friendships that continue to blossom across the Springfield area.”]
