Fruitvale Station: Film Screening + Discussion

We feature a panel discussion of the movie and the account of the murder of Oscar Grant, a young African American, that took place at the Fruitvale BART Station in Oakland. Participate in the discussion, ask questions and then stay for the film.  The discussion will be facilitated by: The Uncle of Oscar Grant- Uncle Bobby, of the Love Not Blood Campaign.

The film, Fruitvale Station invokes the power of story – the impact of contact, the power of showing what it’s like to walk in another’s skin.  It proves that lives do matter, black lives matter; like Trayvon, Oscar Grant mattered. He touched the world around him in ways good and bad, happy and flawed. At 22 years of age he was shot and killed, right in the middle of his becoming.
