Community partner for the Community Cinema DC presentation of “The Calling”

The A.C.T.O.R. series is hosted by Busboys and Poets as a community service. This discussion series provides the opportunity for people to come together and speak openly and honestly about issues of race, culture and ethnicity. The intent is that each person walks away from the discussion feeling something: challenged, educated, uncomfortable, enlightened, refreshed, reassured and hopefully inspired and moved to action!

Participants will be invited to discuss their own “calling” and share how it informs, shapes or impacts attitudes on race and/or ethnicity prior to the Community Cinema [DC] screening of “The Calling.”

WHEN: Sunday, December 5, 2010, 4 PM
WHERE: Busboys and Poets, 2021 14th Street, NW at V
A.C.T.O.R. meets the first Sunday of each month.
