Discussion on role race in attack on student to take place April 23

Share

#Onebody and the Catholic Churches of Central Buffalo will host a discussion on the documentary, β€œOn These Grounds.” The film explores an incident illuminating the challenges some Black girls encounter in schools. The issues documented in the film are concerns embedded in various efforts by #Onebody and Catholic Churches of Central Buffalo social justice ministries.

The film will be shown Saturday, April 23, at 12:30 p.m., at St. Martin de Porres Church, 555 Northampton St., in Buffalo. The 2021 documentary depicts an explosive video going viral, showing a white school resource officer in South Carolina pulling a Black teenager from her school desk and throwing her across the floor. An outraged nation divides over who is at fault and what role race played in the incident.

A freewill offering will benefit the St. Monica Scholars at NativityMiguel Middle School of Buffalo.  

The event will be facilitated by Marianne Partee, Ph.D., and Patricia L. Dyer, CPNP-PC, and #Onebody: Racial Healing, One Heart, One Mind at a Time.
