  • Wednesday, September 2 --  The film, 13th
Director Ava DuVernay documentary argues that the 13th amendment provided a loop hole for the continuation of slavery, converting slavery from a legal business model to an equally legal method of punishment for criminals resulting in mass incarceration.
  • Wednesday, October 7 – The film, The Hate U Give
Director George Tillman, Jr presents the story, based on a young adult novel, of Starr who witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Now, facing pressure from all sides of the community, Starr must find her voice and stand up for what's right.  (PG13)
  • Wednesday, October 21 – The book, An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States
Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz challenges the founding myth of the US and shows how policy against the Indigenous peoples was colonialist and designed to seize the territories of the original inhabitants, displacing or eliminating them.  Spanning more than 400 years, this peoples’ history radically reframes US history and explodes the silences that have haunted our national narrative.
