On Tuesday, April 22nd, members of the UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication will be premiering their project, “Fault Lines: Race Class and Education in Durham, North Carolina.”
The screening will unveil the project website, which includes five video documentaries, graphics and a long piece narrative to help explore this complex issue.
Co-sponsored by the Center for Global Initiatives.
The event is free and open to the public. Click here to learn more and RSVP
