The screening of "I'm Not Racist... Am I?" is being shown as members of the D-E School community including our Upper School (US) students are engaged in critically important and timely discussion about issues of race and race in America.  The film "I'm Not Racist... Am I?"  documents students from private and public schools engaged in a year-long seminar, and it is available for use as a stimulus for conversation about race.  The screening is offered to all members of our Dwight-Englewood School community, in hopes of learning and shaping a discussion of our own.  Following the screening, attendees will hear from one of the filmmakers as they facilitate a post-film conversation.  To view the trailer for the film or learn more, go online to:http://www.notracistmovie.com/.

In the words of US Principal Joseph Algrant:
"We encourage all members of the D-E School community including faculty, staff, parents, students, alumni and friends of the school to attend this screening as we work towards common understandings.  We aim to acquire language and vocabulary to hold meaningful discussions and to create safer spaces to foster dialogues about race.  Many independent schools have been at the forefront of the movement to engage in these talks in our school communities and we are one of those schools."
