ICYMI: Virtual Screening of On These Grounds

 

We are excited to be hosting another virtual screening event! Please join us this Monday, November 15th at 9pm ET/6pm PT for a virtual screening of the documentary On These Grounds and a conversation with Healer-Activist Vivian Anderson. In 2015, a video showing a white police officer in South Carolina pull a Black teenager from her desk and throw her across the floor went viral. That incident inspired Vivian Anderson to uproot her life in New York City to move to South Carolina to support the girl and dismantle the system behind the assault. On These Grounds tells that story and traces the troubled history that led to it. It examines the presence of police in American schools and shows how Black organizers are creating a more just and equitable future for themselves and our entire education system. Sign up here to join our live (free!) screening and conversation with Vivian Anderson. Click “pre-order now for free” to register for the event. You will then be prompted to provide your email address, which is where an email confirmation and reminder will be sent ahead of the event. See you there! Tremayne (he/him)
