As part of the Standing Against Racism series and Asia Society at the Movies initiative, Asia Society Southern California is delighted to announce the film screening of Blurring the Color Line at 7 p.m. on November 7 at the University of Southern California Norris Cinema Theatre. The film screening will be followed by a conversation and Q&A with director Crystal Kwok @kwokthetalk and producers Lisa Ling @lisalingstagram and Daniel Wu @thatdanielwu

Digging into her grandmother’s childhood growing up Chinese in Augusta, Georgia during the height of the Jim Crow era, Kwok destabilizes the binary narratives of race while unpacking uncomfortable truths behind today’s Afro-Asian tensions. The documentary, Blurring the Color Line serves to disrupt the canon of racial history and bridge divides.

This screening is co-hosted with @usccinema and supported by @laurbanleague_

The Los Angeles Urban League calls for the immediate resignation of former Council President Nury Martinez and Councilmembers Gil Cedillo and Kevin de León.

Today, we celebrate the people who built thriving and flourishing communities on the lands we live on today.

We honor the diverse Indigenous communities across the U.S. and help to uplift their voices and stories which have been drowned out by inaccurate and harmful narratives about European colonization, which resulted in genocide and mass displacement of indigenous peoples.

Spend today researching and learning about the people--their culture and history-- who lived on the land in your area. Then, take time to share what #IndigenousPeoplesDay means and why it is important!
