Not in Our Town: Showing of film and discussion of hate violence prevention

Not in Our Town, the critically acclaimed PBS special that sparked a national movement against hate and intolerance, tells the uplifting story of how the residents of Billings, Montana, joined together when their neighbors were threatened by white supremacists. Townspeople of all races and religions swiftly moved into action. Religious and community leaders, labor union volunteers, law enforcement, the local newspapers and concerned individuals stood united and spoke loudly for a hate-free community, proclaiming in no uncertain terms "Not In Our Town!"
