| Time: | 7-9 p.m. |
| Description: | Attend a screening and discussion of "Light in the Darkness," a one-hour PBS documentary about one community's reaction to anti-immigrant violence.
In 2008, a series of attacks against Latino residents of Patchogue, NY, culminated with the murder of Marcelo Lucero, an Ecuadorian immigrant who had lived in the Long Island village for 13 years. "Light in the Darkness" explores the ways in which the community addresses the underlying causes of the violence, works to heal divisions and begins taking steps to ensure everyone in their village will be safe and respected. Jonathan Bernstein, executive director of Not In Our Town, which produced the documentary, leads the post-screening discussion. |
