Black in Latin America: Brazil – A Racial Paradise?
Doors open at 7pm, Screening starts at 7:30pm.
FREE! Donations of any size welcome!
As white supremacy is increasingly coming out of the shadows in this country, it is important we confront racism in our native Latin American and Caribbean countries.
Black in Latin America is an award-winning documentary series where Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. travels to 6 different nations in Latin America and the Caribbean to explore how each nation’s history with colonialism and slavery directly impacts the ways black people in those countries experience discrimination and instituional racism today.
Join us at La Peña Cultural Center on Thursday, Sept. 28 as we screen Episode 3 in the Black in Latin America series “Brazil: A Racial Paradise?” followed by a community discussion.
Our special guest speaker for the community discussion is Phil Hutchings, representing the Black Alliance for Just Immigration (BAJI).
Mr. Hutchings is a long-time activist in struggles for civil rights, human rights, grass-roots community power and international solidarity.
He lives in Oakland where he was a co-founder of Causa Justa Just Cause and more recently the Black Alliance for Just Immigration, where he is the Senior Organizer.
Black Alliance for Just Immigration (BAJI) believes that a thriving multiracial democracy requires racial, social and economic justice for all. African Americans and black immigrants are stronger together and we can win by becoming leaders in the fight against structural racism and systemic discrimination. BAJI was formed to bring Black voices together to advocate for equality and justice in our laws and our communities.
Phil has traveled to Brazil with organizations like Global Exchange and was a member of the Brazil Action and Solidarity Exchange (BASE) composed of Brazilians in the Bay Area with North American supporters of movements in Latin America. BASE educated the public about issues in Brazil and raised funds to send to left and progressive groups working at the grass-roots level to democracize Brazil.
Phil’s interest in Brazil started the 1980s, when he was involved with a group known as Project Abraco which did education around the “Third World Debt Crisis” focusing on Brazil, Argentina and Mexico during the 1980’s.
