The public is invited to a community viewing and discussion of "A Class
Divided" to be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 24, in the Council Chamber
of Chapel Hill Town Hall. Refreshments will be provided.
Organized by the Town of Chapel Hill's Justice in Action Committee, the
event is the first in a series of outreach events designed to engage
the community in frank conversations about race relations in Chapel
Hill.
Mayor Kevin Foy and Justice in Action Committee Chair André Wesson will
make welcoming remarks. Dr. Jan Boxill, director of the UNC Parr Center
for Ethics, will help facilitate the discussion following the viewing
of the documentary film.
"Class Divided" is an encore presentation of the classic documentary on
third-grade teacher Jane Elliott's "blue eyes-brown eyes" exercise,
originally conducted in the days following the assassination of Rev.
Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968. The film is designed to help engage
people in reflection and dialogue about the historical role of racism
in the United States, as well as the role of prejudice and stereotyping.
