| Due to popular demand, the FCC is screening Blurring the Color Line for a second time with the pleasure of its director Crystal Kwok joining us in person. What did it mean to be Chinese living among Blacks in America’s segregated south? Following Kwok’s personal journey of discovery, she digs into how her grandmother’s family navigated life as grocery store owners in the black neighborhood of Augusta, Georgia. The film weaves personal family stories with memories from the larger Chinese and Black communities, opening up uncomfortable but necessary conversations around anti-black racism and the deeply rooted structure of white power and Chinese patriarchy that contributed to this. Which fountain did the Chinese drink from? Where did they sit on the bus? An entrance into our connected histories we never knew or dared speak about as told through the woman’s lens. Moderated by FCC President Keith Richburg. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
