A Screening of Pariah
Tuesday, February 25 | 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Black Resource Center
The intersectionality between the black community and the LGBT community is a very complicated subject to address as there are many differences between the two communities. As the black and LGBT communities are small enough as it is on this community, I feel that a viewing of this movie will be a crucial component for both of these communities to have a deeper understanding of people who shared identities within both communities.
