Sacred Ground, a Film Series

Are You Feeling Helpless?

Worried by the mass deportations, crumbling democratic norms, the rise of white supremacy in the public square?

We invite you to a year-long film-based dialogue series on race called Sacred Ground. This series is designed for our times and is an attempt to respond to the profound challenges of our current times surrounding race and racism, and hopes to foster the difficult but respectful and transformative dialogue we need to have with each other about them.  We will walk back in history to peel away the layers that have brought us to today, and shaped our collective story.  The series, which will occur monthly, are built around powerful documentary films and readings which we hope will serve as a jumping off point for discussion. We will focus on race in general, as it coincides with immigration issues, whiteness, black, and indigenous peoples as well as others. On the fourth Wednesday of the Month, we will gather in Pilgrim Hall for a light supper, film, and discussion. Families are welcome and childcare will be available with pre-registration.

 We hope that you will be able to join us.
