SEATTLE JACL FILM SHOWING AND PANEL DISCUSSION WITH FILMMAKER JON OSAKI
Wednesday, October 30, 2024 | 6 - 8 PM PDT | FREE
Seattle Central College, 1701 Broadway, Seattle. Room 1110.
The 30-minute documentary from Jon Osaki, Reparations, explores the four-century
struggle to seek repair and atonement for slavery in the United States. Black and Asian
Americans reflect on the legacy of slavery, the inequities that persists, and the critical
role that solidarity between communities has in acknowledging and addressing systemic
racism in America. This story is told by Black and Asian Americans who believe that our
collective liberation can only be achieved by standing with one another. Reparations
seeks to raise awareness of the Black reparations struggle and how vital it is to healing
this country. Watch the film and hear from filmmaker Jon Osaki and a panel of local
activists working on Black Reparations.
Hosted by Seattle JACL and co-sponsored by Seattle Central College AANAPISI Center, Tsuru for Solidarity and Wing Luke Museum.
