Black N Black Film + Discussion
@ Center for the Study of Race, Politics and Culture
5733 S University Ave, Chicago, IL 60637
Opening Wednesday, February 5th, from 5PM - 7:30PM
Black N Black is a documentary that explores the relationship between African Americans and African immigrants to the United States. Although both communities originated from the African continent, their view of each other is often fueled by stereotypes and misconceptions. Their already limited and sometimes fragile connections are further complicated by profound social and historical issues such as their relationships with Whites or the alleged complicity of Africans in the Slave Trade, all of which present challenges to their solidarity.
Black N Black highlights these issues in an effort to elevate the communication between the two communities. Filmed in the US, Ghana and Ivory Coast, the documentary presents compelling facts and thoughtful opinions intended to spark discussion and learning about each other as a means of building strong and authentic relationships.
