International Day for the Elimination of  Racial Discrimination    The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is observed annually on March 21st. Racial and ethnic discrimination occur on a daily basis, hindering progress for millions of people around the world. Racism and intolerance can take on various forms: from denying individuals the basic principles of equality to fueling ethnic hatred that may lead to genocide, all of which can destroy lives and fracture communities.   "The Color of Fear" is centered on an electric and cogent discussion of racism. The Center for the Healing of Racism is screening the 90 minute film directed by, Lee Mun Wah, a nationally acclaimed lecturer on diversity. Lee Mun Wah is a Chinese American who in his film, "The Color of Fear" brings together North American, African American, Latino, Asian American and Caucasian men for a dialogue about the state of race relations in America through their eyes. In 1995, Oprah Winfrey did a one-hour special on Lee Mun Wah's life and work that was seen by over 15 million viewers internationally. "The Color of Fear" won the Gold Medal for Best Social Studies Documentary.   Because of his work and contribution to the elimination of racial discrimination and dialogue on race the Center will be bringing to Houston and honoring Mr. Mun Wah at our 2011 Juneteenth Ally Award Luncheon on June 18th.              Lee Mun Wah    Lee Mun Wah is an internationally renowned Chinese American documentary filmmaker, author, poet, Asian folkteller, educator, community  therapist and master diversity trainer.     "The Color of Fear" Trailer   March 28, 2011 2 Screenings 1:00 PM & 7:00 PM   Location: Houston Community College Center Learning Hub/Science Building ~Rm 101 1300 Holman Street Houston, TX 77004     Register Now!
