Frasier will honor and celebrate Black History Month 2024 with two impactful events that delve into important conversations about race and equity.
Documentary Screening of This Is [Not] Who We Are
- February 7, 7:00 pm
- The Canyons Center at Frasier
Engage in a thought-provoking discussion with the filmmakers: Beret Strong, a writer, educator, and co-owner of Landlocked Films, has produced award-winning films shown on PBS and other stations; and Katrina Miller, a graduate of CU-Boulder, is a director, producer, videographer, narrator, and founding owner of Black Cat Productions.
This Is [Not] Who We Are explores the history and contemporary experiences of Boulder’s Black residents. It focuses on the gap between Boulder’s self-image and the actualities of daily living. The discussion will pivot to what Boulder is doing to bridge this gap and what else can be done.
Dialogue and Discussion Panel: “Toward Interracial and Intergenerational Equity in Boulder”
- February 21, 7:00 pm
- The Canyons Center at Frasier
Featuring a diverse panel of speakers:
- Glenda Strong Robinson, a minister at the Second Baptist Church of Boulder, marched with Dr, Martin Luther King, Jr., in 1968, and received the Colorado History Commission’s lifetime achievement award
- Rev. Pedro Silva, served as associate minister at Boulder’s First Congregational Church and is director of engagement at Younify, a nonprofit project whose mission is to reduce societal polarization
- Jamaika Elliott, a student at CU-Boulder
