 [7] Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness director Patrice O'Neill is a featured panelist at the Center for American Progress event, "Stronger Together: Community Integration for Newcomers" on Sept. 20, 12-1:30 p.m. EST.
About the event:
Please join us for a fascinating two-part event that breaks new ground in a phenomenon as old as our nation--how communities sometimes cower, but more often conquer fears and grow stronger by embracing differences. First, an abridged screening of a soon-to-be-aired PBS documentary entitled "Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness" that gives a clear-eyed view how the town of Patchogue, New York, reacted and rebounded after an immigrant was killed in a hate crime attack by local teenagers.
Following the screening, experts from across the nation will discuss the importance of focusing on what receiving communities can do to help integrate new arrivals, and what others can learn from communities that have taken the lead in creating a dynamic process of integration. The discussion will draw heavily from a two-day gathering of experts on integration and a soon-to-be-released CAP report.
