Saturday Children’s Story Hour
Saturday, January 28 at 11:00 a.m.
Valerie Sussman, Church World Services, leads us on a young immigrant’s journey in Landed by Milly Lee. As we follow 12-year-old Sun, we learn about a boy whose entrance into the United States is made more difficult by the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. After a month long wait, Sun finally gets the opportunity to answer questions posed by United States officials. He passes the examination, and reunites with members of his family in America.
A Class Divided
Saturday and Sunday, January 28 and 29 at 1:00 p.m.– 5:00 p.m. (continuous screenings)
Follow the story of Iowa educator Jane Elliott who, in the aftermath of Dr. King’s assassination in 1968, divided her all-white third grade class into two groups: “blue eyes” and “brown eyes.” In this “class divided,” students learn about privilege and prejudice in a society that values one set of physical characteristics over another. See the impact of this classroom experiment on the students some decades later.
A message to our generous supporters. We opened our doors on February 1, 2010—twenty-four months ago. During this short time ICRCM has garnered a stellar reputation for promoting an understanding of the struggles for social justice and equality in the United States and across the world. In fact, through ICRCM, we link Greensboro to the world. We thank you for standing beside us, boosting our morale, and providing much needed financial support. And we ask that you continue this journey with us in the coming months and years. We invite you to commit to furthering democracy and freedom through the work of the ICRCM. Before the end of 2011, please donate to show your endorsement of ICRCM’s efforts in your community. With profound gratitude for your support, let us simply say “Thank you.” |
