Community Discussion Guide
“Together with a brave and brilliant cast, we made the film. You will make it matter.”
Our community discussion guide is designed for communities large and small—gathered at universities, houses of worship, libraries, and museums—to come together, learn, listen to one another, and grow in the direction of change.
The filmmakers collaborated with Joslyn Bowling Dixon, the Deputy Director of Virginia’s Prince William County Public Library System, to adapt a classroom guide for the film created by Teaching Tolerance.
Dixon is a member of the American Library Association’s "Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation Great Stories Club: Implementation Team," an initiative funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to bring about transformational and sustainable change in addressing the historic and contemporary effects of racism. Dixon is also Vice President/President Elect of the Virginia Library Association and VLA’s Forum Chair for Librarians of Color. She led her local team in adapting the guide.
Virginia Humanities contributed funds to support Dixon’s team in further developing the guide for use in libraries at a conference hosted by the Virginia Library Association. Virginia Humanities also supported the graphic design of the guide.
Thanks to this broad and generous support, we’re honored to offer the guide freely.
