NACA, in partnership with The Carter Center, is pleased to present It’s Complicated! Asians in Black & White America, an in-person documentary screening followed by an expert panel and reception.
Saturday, March 25, 2023
2:00 – 5:30pm
Screening + Expert Panel + Reception
Presented by NACA in partnership with The Carter Center.
Here’s the question: in the Jim Crow era, if Black people sat in the back of the bus, and White folk up front, where did the Asians sit?
Actress-turned-filmmaker Crystal Kwok dares to ask this and other provocative questions in her important award-winning documentary, .
What began as personal research into the history of her grandmother Pearl – neighborhood grocery store owners in the Black community of Augusta, Georgia – soon turned into a bigger story on what it means to grow up Asian in a black/white space.
This in-person event includes an exclusive screening of the documentary followed by an expert panel doing a deep dive not only into the issues raised by the film but also how the past must inform our actions (and interactions) with African Americans and all marginalized groups, in the present.
There will be light refreshments and live entertainment to round out the afternoon.
Don’t miss this exciting, special opportunity!
