They focus their talk on the Greensboro Massacre, Charlottesville, the history of white supremacy, and, perhaps most importantly, what we can do as a community to combat this hate and move towards a more just society. Included in the talk is a short 10-minute film of the Massacre (live footage from November 3, 1979). The program ends with a Q&A / discussion with the audience.
