“The Story We Tell“ is an eye-opening tale of how deep social inequalities
came to be rationalized as natural – deflecting attention from the social
practices and public policies that benefited whites at the expense of others.
We will look at how this story continues to affect us and our society
today. (This is Episode #2 in “Race: The Power of an Illusion” from
PBS, California Newsreel.)

“Cracking the Codes”
From Shakti Butler comes a new film that asks
America to talk about the causes and consequences of systemic inequity. Cracking
the Codes: The System of Racial Inequity features moving stories from
racial justice leaders and others of many different racial backgrounds.
Van Jones says, “Cracking the Codes challenges us to build a world
that works for everyone.”
