January 4th: My Father’s Name
Sponsored by UUCMC Social Action Coalition and Adult RE Committee
Join us to watch this 20-minute, award-winning documentary film by Susanna Styron followed by discussion. It shows the intimate story of one woman’s attempt to uncover the truth about her father’s participation in a lynching, find a way to hold her family accountable, and face the dawning awareness of her own unconscious racism. With discussion to follow.
“A gripping and essential exploration of race, accountability, and the far-reaching consequences of family secrets.” – Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
