OKOB Annual Conference Day 1 – Movie Screening

America’s Truth is the first documentary produced by the Center for Community Resilience (CCR) to demonstrate how structural racism in policies, practices, and programs creates and sustains racial trauma and inequity by race and place.

CCR’s Truth & Equity initiative is changing the narrative about racial disparities by focusing on systems rather than individuals. Using the BCR process, our partners develop a shared understanding of the history of race-based trauma in their community. With an intentional focus on systems and policy this place-based effort helps coalitions identify specific levers that drive systemic inequity and create political will for change. This film follows one community’s effort to face the Truth of structural racism, shape their narrative, and guide an agenda for healing and equity through systems change.
