Hello everyone,
I want to let you all know about an upcoming event at Mount Mansfield Union High School. On Thursday, March 22nd there will be a screening of the film "Agents of Change". The film takes the audience through accounts of students at the forefront of protests in the 1960's for the creation of Black and Ethnic Studies Programs. Agents of Change examines the untold story of the racial conditions on campuses and in the country, that led to the protests and connects that history to today's student-led movements. There will be a short, facilitated discussion following the film. This is a free event thanks to a grant from the Ben and Jerry's Foundation.

My name is Willoughby Carlo and I am working in collaboration with the Peace and Justice Center and the MMU After Dark program to bring you this third event in a series of four examining issues of racial justice. The event is free, although to sign up on the MMU After Dark website it will charge $1 which can be reimbursed at the event. The final event in the series is a workshop titled, "Nonviolent Engagement in Conflict" and will be hosted at MMU on Tuesday, April 10th. If you would like to come to the upcoming screening on the 22nd with some background, a great film to watch beforehand is "13th" which can be found on Netflix, although this is not mandatory. This screening will be held from 6-7:30 pm in the MMU library. We hope to see you there!
