As part of the YWCA's national Stand Against Racism campaign, we'll be hosting a community dialog centered around the perspectives presented in the 1994 film The Color of Fear.

The Color of Fear is an insightful documentary film about the state of race relations in America as seen through the eyes of eight North American men of Asian, European, Latino and African descent.

Racism is an age-old problem. This award winning documentary by noted filmmaker Lee Mun Wah sits eight men down with each other to examine racism and explores what it means to be white, and what it means to be a person of color in America.

In a series of intelligent, emotional and dramatic confrontations the men reveal the pain and scars that racism has caused them. What emerges is a deeper sense of understanding and trust. This is the dialogue most of us fear, but hope will happen sometime in our lifetime.
