SCREENING: Dear White People

Dear White People is a satire/drama that follows the stories of four black students at a fictional Ivy League college where a riot breaks out over a popular African-American-themed party thrown by white students. With tongue planted firmly in cheek, the film explores racial identity in a post-racial American while weaving a universal story of forging one's unique path in the world. The Center for American Progress is co-sponsoring this screening with the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, The Thurgood Marshall College Fund, and Politini.
