Description
Calling all Leaders, Citizens, Organizers, Activists, Businesses, Schools and Students....“A NATIONAL CONVERSATION ON RACE”
If These Halls could Talk: A Diversity Film and Community Dialogue to Spark Positive Change
Join Master Diversity Trainer Lee Mun Wah (director of the film, The Color of Fear) of StirFry Seminars & Consulting as he showcases his latest documentary film, If These Halls Could Talk, and facilitates a much-needed diversity dialogue after.
If These Halls Could Talk is a documentary about eleven college students who discuss what it is like on campuses across the country today. The students share their frustration and anguish about what it is like trying to be understood and acknowledged on their predominantly white campuses. Their stories are starkly emotional and raw, filled with incredible tenderness, courage and pain. The issues that they challenge us to look at are equally provocative, begging to be heard and confronted.
If you have ever wondered why our students and faculty of color are leaving our campuses, if you have difficulties understanding students from other cultures, if you don't know what to say or do when a conflict occurs as it relates to a diversity issue, then the film will help model for you what it will take to have conversations on diversity that are both authentic and life-changing. The film will provide a glimpse into what is still missing and what is needed if we are ever going to come together in our classrooms, on our campuses and within our communities.
