Images of people of color and other historically marginalized communities proliferate in the media. At times they inspire, but more- often-than-not they perpetuate stereotypes and misinformation rather than empowerment and liberation.
Behind the scenes a web of rules, regulations and production not only create, but disseminate these images… often at the expense of our communities’ health and wellbeing. Fortunately this is not the end of the story!
Join us for an interactive and creative session that explores the ways that story-telling, organizing, and technology can help to shape the stories that impact our lives. Bring your own stories as the United Church of Christ’s media justice ministry and the Center for Media Justice join forces to consider these questions and look for ways to promote racial justice through the media.
This session will be held on Tuesday, October 1 at the First Congregational United Church of Christ, 945 G St NW, Washington DC 20001 (near Metro Center). The session will start at 10:30 am and end at 12:30 with lunch. RSVPs are necessary so we can provide you with lunch.
The workshop will occur after the UCC's annual Everett C. Parker Lecture and Awards Breakfast, which will start at 8 am. Limited complimentary tickets to the breakfast may be available, please email cleanza@alhmail.com if you would like to attend both events.
