Description

“Arc of Justice” traces the inspiring journey of New Communities and the struggle for racial and economic justice among African Americans in southwest Georgia. Formed in 1969 during the Civil Rights movement, New Communities persevered as the largest black-owned farm in the country despite relentless opposition.

  1. “Arc of Justice” and James Baldwin’s “Take This Hammer”: Connecting Civil Rights to Place

    SFUFF 2017 / 150 mins
    The two films tell stories of struggle for social justice as directly connected to a physical place, whether it’s the rich agricultural lands of rural Georgia, or the streets of San Francisco. Join us for the screening and a discussion with panelists who have dedicated their lives to equitable community development in the Bay Area and beyond as we explore the intersection of activism, public policy and land wealth, with specific focus on African American communities.
