Dear
Here's a May Bank Holiday read.
With Easter not yet a faded memory, I pose this question on account of the 'Is Jesus White?' presentation, which kicks off the May 14 event:
Does The Caucasianisation Of Jesus Promote White Supremacy?
This is some of the points explored in the presentation, which some people assume to be just about the pigmentation of Jesus of the region from which he came. If that was he case, it would be perhaps a 2-minute presentation!. Come discover:
Look How Far We've Come Community Talk & DVD Launch/Is Jesus White? event, which takes place on Thursday May 14, 6-9pm at The Abbey Centre, 34 Great Smith Street, Westminster SW1P 3BU.
To book: http://bit.ly/1xWMG1d
The programme consists of:
a) 'Is Jesus White?' presentation highlighting religion & identity
b) 'Look How Far We've Come Community Talk' screening & post-screening discussion highlighting racism, and other political & societal issues
c) and the release of the 'Look How Far We've Come: Commentaries On British Society And Racism?' DVD highlighting history & racism
The event, which will feature special guests drawn from the diverse Look... project contributors*, includes guest of honour, educationalist and CARD (Campaign Against Racial Discrimination) founding member Dame Jocelyn Barrow. The event also marks British History 50:70, which commemorates the 50th anniversary of the 1965 Race Relations Act and the 70th anniversary of the 5th Pan-African Congress in Manchester.
Kind regards,
Kwaku
