| Description: |
This series of five extraordinary stories, told by United Methodist people with a commitment to being the church in a transformed society, takes root in the deeply complex historical struggles of their ancestors. These stories point to the resilience of the church and people of faith as they dare to act with freedom and with unity to restore community and resist dominant norms, behaviors, and perceptions that justify hate based on race, ethnicity, nationality, and language. Five segments: 1) U.S. Internment of Japanese American Communities (10 min.); 2) The Trail of Tears: Cherokee Forced Removal (9 min.); 3) Underground Railroad: African-American Passage to Freedom (7 min.); 4) When the Border Crosses over Us: Hispanic/Latino Struggles on the U.S. Mexican Border (12 min.); 5) The Newest Immigrants: Pacific Islanders (8 min.).
