VIRTUAL Discussion of "The Long Shadow" with director Frances Causey
This virtual
screening-and-discussion event centers around The Long Shadow, a
documentary in which director Frances Causey traces her family's legacy
of white privilege, placing it in the context of the history of anti-Black
racism in the United States that began with slavery and continues to affect our
society even now.
“Frances Causey’s personal journey in exposing
her own family’s history of slaveholding and how the institution of slavery
continues to have an impact today is both brave and incredible.” – Yolanda Smith,
Executive Director, NAACP Houston
