  • Selected Resources for Understanding Racism
    Selected Resources for Understanding Racism The 21st century has witnessed an explosion of efforts – in literature, art, movies, television, and other forms of communication—to explore and understand racism in all of its many forms, as well as a new appreciation of similar works from the 20th century. For those interested in updating and deepening their understanding of racism in America today, the Anti-Racism Group of Western Presbyterian Church has collaborated with the NCP MCC Race and Reconciliation Team to put together an annotated sampling of these works as a guide for individual efforts at self-development. The list is not definitive or all-inclusive. Rather, it is intended to serve as a convenient reference for those who wish to begin or continue their journey towards a greater comprehension of American racism. February 2020 Contemporary Alexander, Michelle. 2010. The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness. Written by a civil rights litigator, this book discusses race-related issues specific to African-American males and mass incarceration in the United States. The central premise is that "mass incarceration is, metaphorically, the New Jim Crow". Anderson, Carol. 2017. White Rage. From the Civil War to our combustible present, White Rage reframes our continuing conversation about race, chronicling the powerful forces opposed to black progress in America. Asch, Chris Myers and Musgrove, George Derek. 2017. Chocolate City: A History of Race and Democracy in the Nation's Capital. A richly researched and clearly written analysis of the history of racism in Washington, DC, from the 18th century to the present, and the efforts of people of color to claim a voice in local government decisionmaking.

  • (LACMA) Hosted Its Ninth Annual Art+Film Gala on Saturday, November 2, 2019, Honoring Artist Betye Saar and Filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón
    (Los Angeles, November 3, 2019)—The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) hosted its ninth annual Art+Film Gala on Saturday, November 2, 2019, honoring artist Betye Saar and filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón. Co-chaired by LACMA trustee Eva Chow and actor Leonardo DiCaprio, the evening brought together more than 800 distinguished guests from the art, film, fashion, and entertainment industries, among others. This year’s gala raised more than $4.6 million, with proceeds supporting LACMA’s film initiatives and future exhibitions, acquisitions, and programming. The 2019 Art+Film Gala was made possible through Gucci’s longstanding and generous partnership. Additional support for the gala was provided by Audi. Eva Chow, co-chair of the Art+Film Gala, said, “I’m so happy that we have outdone ourselves again with the most successful Art+Film Gala yet. It was such a joy to celebrate Betye Saar and Alfonso Cuarón’s incredible creativity and passion, while supporting LACMA’s art and film initiatives. I couldn’t be more grateful to Alessandro Michele, Marco Bizzarri, and everyone at Gucci—our invaluable partner since the first Art+Film Gala—and to Anderson .Paak and The Free Nationals for making this evening one to remember.” “I’m deeply grateful to our returning co-chairs Eva Chow and Leonardo DiCaprio for helping us set another Art+Film Gala record,” said Michael Govan, LACMA CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director. “We honored two incredibly powerful artistic voices this year. Betye Saar has helped define the genre of Assemblage art for nearly seven decades, and recognition of her as one of the most important and influential artists working today is long overdue.

    Being Black and being beautiful: Der Einfluss von Haar und Frisur auf das Leben Schwarzer Frauen Joy Amaka Onyemaechi 8b GRG 10 Ettenreichgasse Betreuerin: Mag. Christina Gerger 3. Februar 2021 Abstract Seit Jahrhunderten wird das Leben Schwarzer Menschen von vorherrschenden europäischen Schönheitsidealen und rassistischem Denken negativ beeinträchtigt. Besonders davon betroffen sind Schwarze Frauen, welche auch aufgrund Ihrer Haare von klein auf diskriminiert werden. Diese Arbeit zeigt einerseits, wie es zu dieser Unterdrückung kam und welche Auswirkungen das Aufwachsen als Angehörige bzw. Angehöriger der Schwarzen Minderheit in der Weißen Mehrheitsgesellschaft hat. Andererseits stellt sie dar, welche Bewegungen gegen diese rassistische Diskriminierung entstanden sind. Besonders wird dabei auf die Bedeutung der Natural Hair Bewegung eingegangen.

Contact: [email protected] Suicide Watch: How Netflix Landed on a Cultural Landmine By Shabnaj Chowdhury In retrospect, perhaps it’s not surprising that Netflix didn’t seem to see it coming. A week before the first season of “13 Reasons Why” dropped on the streaming service on March 31, 2017, positive reviews began coming in from television critics. “A frank, authentically affecting portrait of what it feels like to be young, lost, and too fragile for the world,” wrote Entertainment Weekly’s Leah Greenblatt. The L.A. Time’s Lorraine Ali also gave a rave review, saying the show “is not just about internal and personal struggles—it's also fun to watch.” But then the show debuted, and suddenly the tenor of the conversation changed. Executive-produced by Brian Yorkey and pop star Selena Gomez, “13 Reasons Why” centers around the suicide of 17-year-old Hannah Baker (Katherine Langford), a high-school junior who leaves behind a series of audiotapes she recorded, detailing the thirteen reasons why she decided to kill herself. Over the course of thirteen one-hour episodes, we learn about the events leading up to Hannah’s death, as she dedicates each tape to a person she feels has wronged her, including Clay Jensen (Dylan Minnette), her friend, and whose perspective is interwoven with Hannah’s, offering two timelines between the past when Hannah was alive, and the present day, two weeks after her death.

  • LAMORINDA WEEKLY | 'Love, Simon'
    LAMORINDA WEEKLY | 'Love, Simon' Published March 21st, 2018 'Love, Simon' By Derek Zemrak In the vein of the great John Hughes' films of the 1980s, "Pretty in Pink" and "Sixteen Candles," the teen romcom (Romantic / Comedy) "Love, Simon," which is based on the 2005 novel "Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda," is now playing at the Orinda Theatre. "Love, Simon" is an important film as it is the first coming-out film distributed by a major film studio (Fox 2000 Pictures) that is rated PG-13. The studios have released previous gay coming-out movies in the past few years, such as "Moonlight" (2016) and "Call Me By Your Name" (2017), but both were rated R. The PG-13 rating will give more teens an opportunity to see "Love, Simon." The story centers around Simon (Nick Robinson from the television sitcom "Melissa & Joey") who is dealing with coming out. He soon befriends another young man online from his high school who is struggling with the same issues. Although they both have not reveled to each other who they are, their friendship and support grows. When the protagonist in the movie, Martin (Logan Miller, "The Walking Dead") finds out Simon's secret, he begins blackmailing him. The film has all the right elements: a solid script with humor, meaning and a positive message for the movie-going audience. The casting is spot on with several very talented young actors (Kathrine Langford, "13 Reasons Why"), Alexandra Shipp ("X-Men: Image provided Apocalypse") and Keiynan Lonsdale ("The Flash"). Some strong supporting roles with Golden Globe winner Jennifer Garner ("Alias") and Josh Duhamel ("Transformers") as Simon's supportive parents.
