We hear from a broad range of academic and religious luminaries who provide historical and sociological perspectives on the contradiction of an American society that values individual freedom and equality while ignoring the realities of slavery, segregation and racism. The documentary shows that while religion plays a part in our racial division, it also is a meaningful force in our nation’s healing and reconciliation.

The documentary features speakers Bishop William Barber II, Yale University; Dr. Eddie Glaude, Jr., Princeton University; Jim Wallis, Georgetown University; and Rev. Kelly Brown-Douglas, Union Theological Seminary.

SALA’s showing is sponsored by CM ArborCare.
