Bridging the Faultlines: Stories of Racism, Resistance & Repair (Program 1)

-

In a revealing and timely follow up to the 2019 Emmy-award winning documentary Jim Crow of the North, Twin Cities Public Television (TPT) has created a series of documentary shorts called “Jim Crow of the North Stories.”

You are invited to experience these stories in a live event that features music, poetry, and food. This will set the table for community conversations meant to acknowledge racism, celebrate ongoing resistance, and move participants to repair harm.
