A Girl Like Me: A Conversation About Race, Beauty and Self-Image
brochure: Girl like Me
Join us for a candid discussion about popular images, race and beauty. The program begins with a short documentary, A Girl Like Me, created by high school student Kiri Davis through the Reel Works Teen Filmmaking program. Davis re-conducted the "doll test" used in the historic Brown v. Board of Education case and sheds new light on how society affects children of color. Discussion facilitators include Nicci Roach, assistant director for Webster University--Old Post Office Campus; local blogger Pamela Merritt; and Jacqueline K. Dace, Missouri History Museum curator of African American collections. Light refreshments will be available. Brown bag dinners are welcome.
