Not In Our Town: Light In the Darkness In partnership with the Clinton School of Public Service Monday, September 19, 2011
The Clinton School and Just Communities of Arkansas will host a screening of the new PBS film, "Not in Our Town: Light in the Darkness," a one-hour documentary about a town coming together to take action after anti-immigrant violence devastates the community. In 2008, a series of attacks against Latino residents of Patchogue, N.Y., culminated with the murder of Marcelo Lucero, an Ecuadorian immigrant who had lived in the Long Island village for 13 years. Filmed over a two-year period, the documentary follows Mayor Paul Pontieri, the victim’s brother Joselo Lucero, community leaders, residents and students as they openly address the underlying causes of the violence and work to heal divisions. |
