2015 Conference Theme Past Achievements, Present Successes & Future Aspirations: 25 Years of NAME

In 1990, NAME was founded by a group of individuals that came together united by passion and vision for multicultural education to create an organization that would celebrate diversity, as well as challenge the existing social inequities. It has been the legacy of NAME to be an advocate for social justice issues in education. NAME has been nationally recognized as one of the premier organizations focusing on social justice issues for all individuals and groups. NAME serves as a forum for scholars, practitioners, and students in both global and national origins to discuss their concerns regarding human relations. Additionally, NAME is a public voice and political advocate in many issues involving social inequalities.

The past achievements in multicultural education should not remain unnoticed. It is in these achievements that we as social justice practitioners find the courage and motivation to keep standing up for those who are marginalized. Likewise, the recognition of the ongoing struggle and successes is crucial in order to in- spire current and future generations by sharing ideas and strategies that will enable the practice of multiculturalism. The diversity in the United States solidifies the necessity of a society willing to practice multiculturalism. Because we live in an increasingly globalized community, multicultural education is becoming more and more of a foundational knowledge. Although discussions within the schools’ curriculum have yet to include the exploitation, slavery and killing of marginalized individuals, these individuals are realizing that the injustices they are suffering will not allow them to continue into the future. Furthermore, the humanness of our society is being challenged more than ever, as it has been somewhat forgotten. Unfortunately, people do not know how to relate to one another. We still have not met the challenge of our past history as we still witness the lack of humanity in our society. Nevertheless, to ignore the positive impacts in our society, due to the vision of NAME transformed into actions, would not be fair to those who day by day commit themselves to wrestle against an unjust system. Thus, in this NAME 2015 conference, we aim at celebrating the courage and hard work of the practitioners by recognizing the past and ongoing events that give life to the vision of NAME.

Multicultural education is timeless. There is an organic relationship between the past, present, and future that cannot be ignored, because they all inform each other to evolve our NAME vision. This translates to a greater vision for a society of equity and revolutionized education. Therefore, learning from the past, celebrating the present, and ambitioning a better future, in multiculturalism, but not limited to the organization, are the basic keys for this NAME 2015 conference. Although the battle for social justice has been taking place for more than 25 years, the struggle and the passion should not subside as long as the in- equities are still present. However, the praise of achievements, successes and aspirations are necessary to evaluate and celebrate where we are now as ambassadors of multiculturalism. We look forward to learn from multiple areas within social justice, and be challenged in our ways of thinking as we deconstruct our ideologies and welcome a variety of social identities from within and outside our communities.

!!! Bette R. Tate-Beaver, Executive Director • Email: [email protected] National Office: 2100 M Street, Suite 170-245 • Washington DC 20037 Ph: 202.679.NAME (202.679.6263) • Web: www.NAMEorg.org ! Hello & Welcome to New Orleans! Thank you for being part of NAME’s Silver Anniversary Conference. We are back in NAME’s hometown, where the incomparable Rose Duhon-Sells founded the organization, 25 years ago. We were last here in 2008 to support friends and family, post-Katrina. Now, we are celebrating NAME’s survival and honoring those impacted by Hurricane Katrina, 10 years later.

It is always exciting when we come together, but this year is special, with more than 400 break sessions. The school and community tours will reveal the work being done to rebuild this great community. The keynotes and sessions will open your minds and challenge you. Plus, it would not be NAME without great films, networking and celebrations!

At this anniversary, I think back over the years I have been involved with NAME. It has truly enriched my life! Gathering with all of you, each year to renew, refresh and grow is always amazing. It is an honor and joy to represent NAME where ever I am invited to join allies and friends. I love to spread the news of NAME. This year that included an exceptional journey to Cuba with a group of 18 NAME members ranging in age from 20- 83. Our Cuban friends hope to join the NAME family soon!

Here are a few last thoughts on how to get the most from this 25th Anniversary NAME conference: 1. We offer many options for your time. Plan your days in advance, so you don’t miss the things of highest interest. You can download the NAME app or the program book to your favorite device so you can keep the program close.

2. NAME people like to connect — so wear you badge and carry your business cards. Expect an inviting atmosphere and a lot of hugs. Is there a scholar whose work you respect? Seek them out and introduce yourself.

3. Attend sessions like the First Timers Orientation, Mentee-Mentors Meet-Up, 2016 Conference Planning, the Film Festival, chapter networking and regional meetings. Don’t miss the Sankofa Sunday Breakfast, where we will look back to honor those impacted by Katrina and then look forward to envision the future NAME.

4. Stop by the NAME booth and get a copy of NAME’s new commemorative book: Multicultural Education: A Renewed Paradigm of Transformation and Call to Action and get all the chapter authors to sign it for you.

5. Don’t hesitate to roll up your sleeves and volunteer. That’s the NAME way. It is the best way to get the most out of the conference. We work hard and have fun! Be part of the fun, activism and change.

I want to give a very special thanks to Rose Duhon-Sells for her incredible foresight and determination. We wouldn’t be here without you!

Wednesday, 9/30--All Day Institute 8:30am-5pm-- W1. Undoing Racism® Community Organizing Workshop — People’s Institute, New Orleans Through dialogue, reflection, role-playing, strategic planning and presentations, this workshop challenges participants to analyze the structures of power and privilege that hinder social equity and prepares them to be effective change agents in their institutions. The multiracial team of organizers/trainers includes men and women whose anti-racist training and organizing expertise includes many years with civil, labor, women and welfare rights struggles, educational, foster care, social service and health reform movements, as well as youth and grassroots community organizing. Every piece of the workshop is essential understanding for closing disproportionality and disparities in educations, child protective services, the judicial systems, health and health care, employment, wages, housing, etc. As the employees of these systems/institutions increase their understanding of race and racism they will help create more humanistic and culturally authentic relationships built on an understanding of historical and current day realities of systemic and structural racism. • Wednesday 9/30--Morning Half-Day Institute 8:30am-12:30pm-- W2. Reaching & Teaching Students in Poverty: An Equity Literacy Approach— Paul Gorski, George Mason University To often, conversations about poverty and education have focused on what we presumably need to “fix” about low-income students and families, whether their culture or their brains or their level of grit. A more comprehensive, equity-focused view of poverty and education begins with a deeper level of equity literacy—with the ability to recognize, respond to, and redress the barriers low-income students and families experience in and out of schools. This intensive institute is designed to provide teachers, administrators, teacher educators, and professional development specialists with an equity literacy framework for creating and sustaining equitable learning environments for students in poverty. Takeaways will include strategies and exercises for leading change efforts in a variety of spheres of influence and engaging others in these efforts as well.

Wednesday 9/30--Afternoon Half-Day Institutes 1-5pm-- W3. Critical Family History — Christine Sleeter, NAME Past President, Professor Emerita, Cal State University--Monterey Bay Many people are interested in family history, but few use it as a tool to examine how dynamics of culture, racism, and power have played out historically, and how one's family has been located in those complex processes. In this intensive institute, participants will be introduced to critical family history, and to several basic processes for researching family history research and the context of family units in the past. After being shown examples of how larger social issues were opened up through critical family history (such as the question of how immigrants from Europe became White), participants will have an opportunity to interactively consider questions they might want to pursue

Weds. 9/30—Half-Day Institute –1-5pm-- W4. Genderf*ck and Other!Trans*Border Identity Formations — Christine Clark, Zaid Haddad, Kevin Higley, Heather Whitesides This interactive session links identity and geography relative to the concept of borderlands. This session highlights exclusionary educational practices that particularly negatively impact Trans* students through a review of critical perspectives on identity emanating from intersectional scholarship in queer studies, on gender identity and expression, and through border pedagogy that are most relevant for MCE today. It also links the "terrain" of identity to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology to literally "map" Trans* identity formations. This session will be of particular interest to MC educators interested in understanding new Trans*Border-related nomenclature, and its relevance to PK-12 classroom praxis.

Weds. 9/30—Half-Day Institute –1-5pm-- W5. "From Africa to America" a Social Justice Arts Experience — Karen McLean Dade, Western Washington University This is an interdisciplinary workshop that features American and African history including the African holocaust. Through art mediums such as, dance, drama, spoken word, music readers' theatre and storytelling participants will be introduced to the power of social justice arts education.

Thursday 10/1 Afternoon Institutes 2-5pm-- T6. Writing for Publication - Penny Lisi, Francisco Rios, Maria Franquiz, Kevin Roxas This half-day workshop is designed to assist anyone interested in publishing in professional journals or other related publications in the field of multicultural education. Facilitated by experienced editors and writers, it is particularly beneficial for graduate students and junior faculty. During this interactive workshop, participants will learn about the process for publishing from both a writer’s perspective as well as the editor’s perspective. Topics to be covered include getting started (selecting appropriate journals, turning dissertations into articles, etc.), the submission and review process, and the relationship of publishing to tenure. Participants should be prepared to share their ideas for articles. Participants will receive an extensive package of materials to support their work towards becoming published authors.

Thursday 10/1 Afternoon Institutes 2-6pm-- T7. Working Toward Equitable Discipline in Schools and Beyond - Marta Larson, Consultant MI STEM Programs According to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), “thousands of children are languishing in abusive prisons and jails. These youths are disproportionately African American and Latino…Many of these children were needlessly pushed out of school and into the juvenile justice system…Children and teens of color are imprisoned at almost three times the rate of their white counterparts – suggesting that they are often unfairly targeted for arrest and confinement.” Additionally, the SPLC says, “For far too many children, the path to prison begins in our under-funded schools. Rather than invest in the basic educational and social services that will help troubled children succeed, many schools rely on harsh, “zero-tolerance” discipline policies that result in suspensions, dropouts and arrests for even minor, nonviolent misbehavior. These policies push students into a juvenile justice system that criminalizes many of them…Too often, the juvenile justice system writes off misbehavior in affluent school districts as “typical adolescent rebellion” while the same behavior by a student in a

National Association for Multicultural Education • www.NAMEorg.org ! 2015 New Orleans 25th Annual NAME Conference 31 !

poor, minority school district is likely to be viewed as “criminal behavior” that warrants harsh consequences. This misguided approach to school discipline is driving up the dropout rates for both students and teachers. It does little to improve school climates or make our communities safer. Reversing this trend will require a sea change in the way schools approach discipline.” Unfortunately, this describes a situation that has continued for at least 30 years, contributing to the existence of achievement gaps, low enrollment of African Americans in higher education, and the school-to-prison pipeline. Schools and districts can remedy the situation by taking a culturally responsive, data driven approach for achieving equitable discipline. Presenter will describe an approach that infuses culturally responsive practices in data analysis, policy review, problem solving, school-wide planning, and evaluation. Schools that have used this method have seen dramatic and long-lasting decreases in both the number and disproportionality of disciplinary referrals and suspensions, impacting both individual and overall student achievement, and helping to close achievement gaps. Case studies, small group discussion, and time for questions will be included.

Intensive Institutes for Fri, Oct 2 Friday 10/2 Morning Institute 10-11:50am-- F8. Accessing the Media: The Movement & the Message, Countering the Conservative Anti-NAME Dominance - Lewis Diuguid, Kansas City Star Ask most people, and no one knows of social justice and multicultural education organizations or issues. But they are well aware of the rhetoric from the right against groups that promote equity concerns. Why? Folks on the right have successfully captured and maintained the news media's attention, which have amplified their viewpoint. Effectively communicating the work of NAME requires understanding the rapidly evolving popular media. Communicating the importance of multicultural education to pre-K through 12 teachers, principals, parents and the public is essentially another cultural bridge we must successfully cross. This session is led by an award winning journalist who has shared this information all over the country will teach strategies, practices and techniques for engaging a wider audience for our work. The institute will focus on how to write and get published in newspapers, magazines, on websites, blogs and other venues. It also will present material on how to get news releases to the news media and be taken seriously instead of trashed. The strategies will include working with the local and national media to gain attention for events, the work of NAME and NAME members.

Friday 10/2 Afternoon Institute 2-6pm-- F9. Multicultural Education: A Foundation Course - Bill Howe, NAME Past President & M. Gabriel, CO-NAME Co-Chair This institute is designed for those individuals wishing to take a course in multicultural education. Those individuals who wish to design or revise a course in multicultural education will also benefit. The institute will review definitions, goals, theories and application. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the various components of a course along with suggestions on the do's and don'ts in teaching about multicultural education.

How Educators Can Advocate for English Language Learners (ELLs) - Staff of NEA Human and Civil Rights Department and NEA ELL Cadre Trainers The National Education Association (NEA) is doing groundbreaking work to help educators more effectively meet the needs of English Language Learners (ELLs). There is a growing call for educators --in addition to having knowledge of effective methods and resources for educating ELLs-- to view their work with ELLs from an advocacy perspective. Participants in this workshop will learn how to approach the instruction of ELLs from an advocacy perspective, understand the areas in which ELLs require advocacy, recognize the need for advocacy, and explore effective tools and strategies that support advocacy efforts. Participants will receive a copy of How To Advocate for English Language Learners, America’s fastest-growing student demographic is so disproportionately underserved by the public school system, the number of programs and dollars spent per English Language Learner is in decline even as the number of ELL students has skyrocketed. How can educators and other stakeholders fight for the rights of language-minority students? NEA’s new guide, All In! How Educators Can Advocate for English Language Learners, offers strategies, resources, and step-by-step instructions for navigating the real-life issues educators encounter every day.

NOCCA was founded in 1973 by a diverse coalition of artists, educators, business leaders, and community activists who saw the need for an institution devoted to our region’s burgeoning young talent. The program is tuition-free to all Louisiana students who meet audition requirements. Students from over 100 public, private, parochial and home schools attend in the afternoon or late-day, as well as Academic Studio students, who attend NOCCA for the full day. NOCCA’s track record over the past 40 years speaks for itself: every year a remarkable 95- 98% of NOCCA graduates go on to college and conservatory programs across the country. Furthermore, approximately 80% of NOCCA students receive scholarships to pursue such higher education. The key to NOCCA’s success is the ethic of discipline and responsibility it instills in students, which prepares them for productive adult lives.

BaddDDD Sonia Sanchez. Directed by Barbara Attie, Janet Goldwater and Sabrina Schmidt Gordon. 2015. California Newsreel www.newsreel.org. 50 minute (excerpts) NOTE: This film will premiere at the New Orleans Film Festival on October 15. As a special favor to NAME, our conference participants to get a “sneak peek” of the film before it premieres. This new feature documentary offers unprecedented access to the life and work of renowned poet and activist Sonia Sanchez. An essential figure in the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s, the documentary reveals how Sanchez has been a continuing presence in American culture for nearly 60 years using her art to confront injustice and to lift up humanist themes. Deemed “a lion in literature’s forest” by Maya Angelou, Sonia Sanchez helped transform the university landscape, advocating for inclusion of African American Studies in schools. She revolutionized poetry through her usage of street language and unique performance style. She is widely considered to be a foremother of today’s

Victória, Mariana and Vasco are three young Mozambicans with physical disabilities, living in the townships of Maputo, Mozambique’s capital city.

Their daily lives reveal their physical, psychological and emotional challenges. The film explores how they look at themselves and others and raises universal questions about self-acceptance and how to find one’s place in society. Screening: Fri. 10/2 at 4pm

Brown Bread: The Story of an Adoptive Family. Directed by Sarah Gross. 2014. www.brownbreadthefilm.com. 87 minutes. In the hills of Northern California, an unusual family gathers for their reunion. As they join hands around the table, their colorful mix of races looks like the American dream of integration. It started with a vision. The grandparents recall how in the 1970’s they began to adopt. Scenes from the weeklong reunion are interspersed with images from their adult children's daily lives. A professor at Stanford, a manual day laborer, an entrepreneur in debt, ... these portraits show radical differences in class and identity. Their ability to laugh and to love across boundaries of social and racial division made this family possible. But their differences still drive them apart. This film is a personal documentary about what it means to grow up in an adoptive family. Screening: Fri. 10/2 at 5pm

By Invitation Only*. Directed by Rebecca Snedeker. 2014. www.newdayfilms.com. 56 minutes. New Orleans filmmaker Rebecca Snedeker explores the insular world of the elite, white Carnival societies and debutante balls of Mardi Gras. Questioning their racial exclusivity, she takes an unprecedented insider's look at the pageantry and asks: What does it mean to be the queen of the masked men? As she examines her own place in an alluring tradition, Snedeker challenges viewers to reflect on the roles we all play in our lives. Screening and Meet the Filmmaker: Thurs. 10/1 at 2pm

Children of the Civil Rights*. Directed by Julia Clifford. 2015. 50 minutes. No one knew that a group of Oklahoma City kids were heroes; not even the kids themselves. For six years between 1958 and 1964, a group of children went into restaurants and asked for service. It never got violent; it never made national news; but together, they turned around every restaurant except one before the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Fifty years later, this film shares their six-year odyssey to freedom. Screening and Meet the Filmmaker: Thurs. 10/1 at 5pm

The E Word: A Documentary on the Ebonics Debate*. Written, Directed and Produced by Jonathan Gayles. 2014. www.films.com. 55 minutes. This documentary critically considers the Ebonics Resolution as well as the many influences on the public debate (or lack thereof) that erupted as a result of the Resolution. Through the use of archival footage and interviews with scholars, policymakers and, most importantly, those directly involved with the Resolution, the documentary pursues a coherent and comprehensive engagement of Ebonics. Screening and Meet the Filmmaker: Thurs. 10/1 at 11am.

Feminism Inshallah: A History of Arab Feminism.

National Association for Multicultural Education • www.NAMEorg.org ! 2015 New Orleans 25th Annual NAME Conference 37 !

Directed by Ben Mahmoud. 2014. www.wmm.com 52 minutes. The struggle for Muslim women’s emancipation is often portrayed stereotypically as a showdown between Western and Islamic values, but Arab feminism has existed for more than a century. This groundbreaking documentary recounts Arab feminism’s largely unknown story, from its taboo- shattering birth in Egypt by feminist pioneers up through viral Internet campaigns by today’s tech- savvy young activists during the Arab Spring. Moving from Tunisia to Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia, the film tracks the progress of Arab women in their long march to assert their full rights and achieve empowerment. Screening: Sat. 10/3 at 4pm

India’s Daughter. Directed by Leslee Udwin. 2015. www.wmm.com. 62 minutes. This film shows the powerful story of the 2012, brutal gang rape on a Delhi bus of a 23 year old medical student, who later died from her injuries. In 2012, it made international headlines and ignited protests by women in India and around the world. (Recently India’s government banned the film.) Award-winning filmmaker Udwin, herself a victim of rape, went to India inspired by the protests against sexual assault. She got exclusive, interviews with the rapists and defense attorney, none of whom express remorse. The defense attorney even states that “immodest” women deserve what happens to them. An impassioned plea for change, the film pays tribute to a remarkable and inspiring young woman and explores the compelling human stories behind the incident and the political ramifications throughout India. But beyond India, the film lays bare the way in which societies and their patriarchal values have spawned such acts of violence globally. Screening: Thurs. 10/1 at 4pm

The MLK Street Project*. Directed by Nigel D. Greaves and Charneice Fox Richardson. Produced by Nigel D. Greaves. 2015. www.mlkstreetsproject.com. 45 minutes. The idea for this film grew out of a Chris Rock joke making fun of the violence often found on streets named for non violent activist, Martin Luther King. The film follows 13 high school students from 5 different high schools in the Washington DC-area as they travel cross-country to observe and record the condition of America’s MLK streets. Narrated by Rain Pryor, the film keeps the comedy to cultural commentary connection alive as it looks critically at the MLK-street naming phenomenon and the effects of gentrification on the streets where he once marched for social justice. Screening and Meet the Filmmaker: Sat. 10/3 at 10am

Old South. Directed by Danielle Beverly. 2015. www.wmm.com. 54 minutes. Through a quiet unfolding story, this film provides a window into the underlying dynamics of race relations that influence so many American communities. In Athens GA, a college fraternity traditionally known to fly the confederate flag moves to a historically black neighborhood and establishes their presence by staging an antebellum style parade. What starts with a neighborhood struggle over cultural legacies in the South, the opening of a community garden becomes a grounds for understanding, as well as a physical and emotional space for healing, offering a sense of possibility and hope for the future. Screening: Sat. 10/3 at 3pm

Once Upon a Time. Produced and Directed by James Rulenbeck. 2014. California Newsreel. www.newsreel.org. 32 minutes. The film tells the extraordinary but widely forgotten story of a time when childcare for all wasn't just a fairy tale. In the decades since high-quality child care has become more of a critical ingredient in determining whether young children, their families and, indeed, the nation are to flourish. The film will inspire us to act so that childcare and preschool for all—currently back on the national agenda-- will at long-last become a reality. Screening: Sat. 10/3 at 2pm

By the time she was 19 years old, legendary Civil Rights Activists, Joan Trumpauer Mulholland participated in over three dozen sit-ins and protests.

Playing With Fire: Women Actors of Afghanistan. Directed by Anneta Papathanassiou. 2014. www.wmm.com. 50 minutes In Afghanistan, women deciding to be actors make a dangerous choice. Banned under Taliban rule (1994-2001), Afghan theater is experiencing a comeback with many women at the forefront. But with powerful forces of Islamic fundamentalism, a resurgent Taliban, and patriarchal traditions, actresses often face the harshest criticism and are even sometimes are viewed as prostitutes. Socially ostracized, and pressured to abandon their careers, they receive beatings and death threats for them and their families. Some are forced to flee the country and some are even killed. This film introduces us to six courageous Afghan women who share their passions for acting, dreams, and difficult realities. Screening: Thurs. 10/1 at 3pm

Selma, The Bridge to the Ballot*. Produced and Directed by Bill Brummel. Assoc. Producers: Lynn Stevenson and Juan Carlos Velasco. Southern Poverty Law Center. 2015. www.splcenter.org. 40 Minutes The film documents the true story of the forgotten heroes in the fight for voting rights—the courageous students and teachers of Selma, Alabama, who stood up against injustice despite facing intimidation, arrests and violence. By organizing and marching bravely, these change-makers achieved one of the most significant victories of the civil rights era and should never be forgotten. In the 2012 presidential election, more than 90 million eligible voters did not go to the polls. In the 18–24 age group, only six out 10 voted. And, in 2014, voter turnout dropped to a 72-year low. This film is a crucial reminder that each of us has the ability to bring about powerful social change in our democracy. Screening and Meet the Filmmaker: Fri. 10/2 at 11am

immigrant students to share stories with their Canadian peers. The catalyst for this cross-cultural interaction was the students' reading of A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah, a memoir of his horrific time as a child soldier in Sierra Leone's civil war.

Screening: Sat. 10/3 at 5pm

We Still Live Here. Directed by Anne Makepeace. Produced by Anne Makepeace Productions. 2011. www.bullfrogfilms.com. 56 minutes. Celebrated every Thanksgiving as the Indians who saved the Pilgrims from starvation, and then largely forgotten, the Wampanoag Tribes of Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard are now saying loud and clear, and in their Native tongue, "As Nutayuneân," - We Still Live Here. The Wampanoag's ancestors ensured the survival of the English settlers known as the Pilgrims, and lived to regret it. Now a cultural revival is taking place. Spurred on by their celebrated linguist, Jessie Little Doe Baird, recent winner of a MacArthur `genius' award, the Wampanoag are bringing their language home. Like many Native American stories, this one begins with a vision. Years ago, Jessie began having recurring dreams: familiar-looking people from another time speaking in an incomprehensible language. These visions sent her on an odyssey that would uncover hundreds of documents written in Wampanoag, lead her to a Masters in Linguistics at MIT. This is an unprecedented story of language reclamation. Jessie's daughter Mae is the first Native speaker of Wampanoag in a century. Screening: Thurs. 10/1 at 10am

Wounded Places: Confronting Childhood PTSD in America’s Shell Shocked Cities. Produced and Directed by Llew Smith. 2014. California Newsreel www.newsreel.org. 42 minutes. PTSD isn’t only about combat vets and survivors of natural disasters. Too many of our children, especially children of color living in neighborhoods of concentrated poverty, show the effects of unrelenting structural racism, street violence, domestic instability and other adversities. Their symptoms look a lot like post-traumatic stress disorder; except for many, there is no ‘post'. The filmmakers travels to Philadelphia and Oakland, where long histories of disinvestment and racial social exclusion have ravaged entire neighborhoods, exposing children to multiple adverse childhood experiences. We meet families and some remarkable young people who have been traumatized not just by shootings, but fear, uncertainty and a sense of futurelessness. Screening: Fri. 10/2 at 3pm

Michael Fosberg portrays over a dozen different characters from his own life as he delves into issues of race, identity, family history, divorce, adoption and finding a father, in this funny and deeply moving one man play. FREE and Open to the Public: Weds. 9/30 at 7:30pm in the Gallery, 1st floor

NAME 2015 Film Festival Screening

Playing With Fire: Women Actors of Afghanistan. Directed by Anneta Papathanassiou. 2014. www.wmm.com. 50 minutes In Afghanistan, women deciding to be actors make a dangerous choice. Banned under Taliban rule (1994-2001), Afghan theater is experiencing a comeback with many women at the forefront. But with powerful forces of Islamic fundamentalism, a resurgent Taliban, and patriarchal traditions, actresses often face the harshest criticism and are even sometimes are viewed as prostitutes. Socially ostracized, and pressured to abandon their careers, they receive beatings and death threats for them and their families. Some are forced to flee the country and some are even killed. This film introduces us to six courageous Afghan women who share their passions for acting, dreams, and difficult realities. Screening: Thurs. 10/1 at 3pm in Oakley ! ! !

NAME 2015 Film Festival Screening

Wounded Places: Confronting Childhood PTSD in America’s Shell Shocked Cities. Produced and Directed by Llew Smith. 2014. California Newsreel www.newsreel.org. 42 minutes. PTSD isn’t only about combat vets and survivors of natural disasters. Too many of our children, especially children of color living in neighborhoods of concentrated poverty, show the effects of unrelenting structural racism, street violence, domestic instability and other adversities. And their symptoms look a lot like post- traumatic stress disorder; except for many, there is no ‘post'. The filmmakers travels to Philadelphia and Oakland, where long histories of disinvestment and racial social exclusion have ravaged entire neighborhoods, exposing children to multiple adverse childhood experiences. We meet families and some remarkable young people who have been traumatized not just by shootings, but fear, uncertainty and a sense of futurelessness. Screening: Fri. 10/2 at 3pm in Southdown !

Sonia

Sanchez

A New documentary by Barbara Attie, Janet Goldwater, Sabrina Schmidt Gordon http://www.attiegoldwater.com/soniasanchez/home.htm For 80-year-old Sonia Sanchez, writing is both a personal and political act. She emerged as a seminal figure in the 1960s Black Arts Movement, raising her voice in the name of black culture, civil rights, women's liberation, and peace as a poet, playwright, teacher, activist and early champion of the spoken word. She is among the earliest poets to have incorporated urban black English into her poetry; she was one of the first activists to secure the inclusion of African American studies in university curricula. Deemed "a lion in literature's forest" by poet Maya Angelou and winner of major literary awards including the American Book Award, Sonia Sanchez is best known for 17 books of poetry that explore a wide range of global and humanist themes, particularly the struggles and triumphs of women and people of color. In BaddDDD Sonia Sanchez, Sanchez's life unfolds in a documentary rich with readings and jazz-accompanied performances of her work. With appearances by Questlove, Talib Kweli, Ursula Rucker, Amiri Baraka, Haki Madhubuti, Jessica Care Moore, Ruby Dee, Yasiin Bey, Ayana Mathis, Imani Uzuri and Bryonn Bain, the documentary examines Sanchez's contribution to the world of poetry, her singular place in the Black Arts Movement and her leadership role in African American culture over the last half century.

NAME 2015 Film Festival Screening & Meet the Filmmaker

The MLK Street Project*. Directed by Nigel D. Greaves and Charneice Fox Richardson. Produced by Nigel D. Greaves. 2015. www.mlkstreetsproject.com. 45 minutes. The idea for this film grew out of a Chris Rock joke making fun of the violence often found on streets named for non violent activist, Martin Luther King. The film follows 13 high school students from 5 different high schools in the Washington DC-area as they travel cross-country to observe and record the condition of America’s MLK streets. Narrated by Rain Pryor, the film keeps the comedy to cultural commentary connection alive as it looks critically at the MLK-street naming phenomenon and the effects of gentrification on the streets where he once marched for social justice. Screening and Meet the Filmmaker: Sat. 10/3 at 10am in Southdown
