CLS Artist-In-Residence Short Film Series - Tues. Oct. 25, 12:10-1:10 p.m. in JG 105. We will look at two short films from Self Evident Media Education, which often examine unknown stories related to the history of the creation and codification of a legalized caste system in the U.S. based on race. One film examines bias in the press and how that impacts our perception of history and the second film tells the story of a Black woman in Massachusetts who took legal action that directly led to the end of legal institution of slavery in Massachusetts.
