Watch & Discuss the film Something New with sociologist Erica Chito-Childs

Event Date:

Thursday, January 26, 2012 - 7:00pm

Kenya McQueen (Sanaa Lathan) is a successful African-American CPA, working her way to the top of the corporate ladder -- but her life has become all work and no play. Urged on by her friends to try something new and to let go of her dream of the "ideal black man," she accepts a blind date with an architectural landscaper named Brian (Simon Baker), only to cut the date short upon first sight because Brian is white.   

The film will be followed by a discussion lead by sociologist Erica Chito-Childs.
