Oct. 28 Preview at MoAD in San Francisco
Friday, October 10th, 2008 | Events | No Comments
UPDATE: Our event is full and we’re are only taking waitlist RSVPs. Please note that the video we’re showing is a nine-minute reel and not the completed film. The reel received an incredibly positive response, followed by a lively discussion on race and the elections, when we showed it in New York City two weeks ago.
Our Oct. 28 panelists include: Loma K. Flowers, MD, psychiatrist; Thomas A. Saenz, civil rights attorney; Dale Minami, civil rights attorney; and Eva Paterson, the film’s executive producer, and President of the Equal Justice Society.
Join us on Tuesday, October 28, at 6:30 p.m. for a presentation of PRESIDENTIAL RACE at the Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD), 685 Mission Street, San Francisco. In addition to a video showing, we’ll have a panel discussion of the film led by executive producer Eva Paterson. RSVP via email or on our Facebook event listing. And help us spread the word by sending people to this site or using this PDF flyer.

Executive producer Eva Paterson showed a preview of Presidential Race to a crowd of more than 50 at the New York Foundation on Oct. 6. Dorothy M. Ehrlich, deputy executive director of the ACLU, introduced Eva and Michael Rothenberg, executive director of New York Lawyers for the Public Interest, helped us pitch for donations.
Among the audience members: executive director of the Capacity Development Group and regular EJS newsletter columnist Lee Cokorinos; Arcus Foundation senior program officer Alvin Starks, Black Equity Alliance president and CEO Joyce Johnson, Center for Reproductive Rights senior press officer Dionne Scott, National Center for Law and Economic Justice executive director Henry Freedman, and Cristóbal J. Alex and Tanene Allison from NYPLI. Kimberly Thomas Rapp and Keith Kamisugi from EJS also attended.
“I believe that Presidential Race is going to be a part of film history,” wrote one of the audience members to Eva after the showing that night.
Special thanks to Michael Rothenberg for putting the event together within a matter of days and to the New York Foundation for hosting us!
