40 Years Later Now Can We Talk?

Developing curriculum to teach about race, racism, and social justice—using storytelling and the arts. "40 Years Later Now Can We Talk?" is a documentary film about white and African-American former Mississippi high school students (class of 1969) who re-convene to share their memories of that time; and describe their experiences of discrimination and racism. The film is currently in production and scheduled for release Fall 2010.

"Through the telling of our stories we can disarm agendas, and create the space for new communities and conversations to emerge."
