Who We Are -- Film Screening

On Thursday Oct 6th at 5 pm, in the D’Angelo Center (Room 128), the Academic Center for Equity and Inclusion (ACEI) at St John’s is inviting the University community to a screening of the 2022 documentary film, Who We Are. According to the invitation:

[Who We Are] is a film version of former ACLU Deputy Legal Director Jeffery Robinson’s groundbreaking talk on the history of U.S. anti-Black racism. The documentary is interwoven with archival footage, interviews, and Robinson's story, and it explores the enduring legacy of white supremacy and our collective responsibility to overcome it.

You can watch a trailer of the film here:

You can find out more and register HERE. I encourage everyone to go as it touches on many of the issues of identity that we’re exploring in this course. Not to mention many of the issues that we still face as a nation.

As William Faulkner said: “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.”

The following week, ACEI will also be hosting a discussion about the film with one of the film’s producers, Jayashri Wyatt. You can find out more about that HERE.
