Axe in the Attic screening at NOLA Conference at Xavier

I just heard about this conference, but Lucia Small and Ed Pincus will be there with their film Axe in the Attic. If you missed it at the film festival you may want to see it at this conference, "Americans at the Pulpit and in the Public Square: A conversation on race, religion, and rhetoric." See information below:

"Americans at the Pulpit and in the Public Square: A conversation on race, religion, and rhetoric", held on the eve of an historic presidential inauguration, is an effort to examine and reinvigorate Black-Jewish relations in a new context. African Americans and Jews were the two groups that voted in the largest numbers for President-Elect Obama. But what does this mean? And what can a renewed alliance hope to achieve, particularly in a worsening economic climate?

The conference will feature an impressive line-up of top academics, activists, and elected officials, and offer many ways to become knowledgeable, active and effective on key issues facing our country and the fabric of our society:
-Participate in an honest conversation across racial and religious lines
-Build coalitions
-Work together through hands-on community service
-Engage leading activists and academics
