The Anti-Defamation League & Scottsdale Community College present:
The Many Faces of Hate Film Series -- "Making Peace--Facing Racism"
~ Racism is learned...can it be unlearned? ~
Scottsdale, AZ (January 8, 2008) -- This emotionally-charged program follows five participants of different ethnic and racial backgrounds through a three-day Unlearning Racism workshop. As the workshop begins, a European-American man offends his African-American workshop partner by making a joke during a one-on-one dialogue. The incident sparks anger among African-American participants, who openly confront the offender. White participants in the workshop express their frustration over their inability to understand the reactions of the people of color. The five main participants later meet to reflect on the honest sharing of feelings that took place during the workshop. This program represents both a strong statement on the complex issues surrounding racism and an honest depiction of the difficulties involved in resolving them.
Film to be followed by public discussion moderated by Ms. Rory Gilbert, Manager for Diversity Initiatives for the Maricopa Community College District
