Brief discussion follows film.
The NPHC invites you to see this incredible movie that was filmed at a HBCU (Histrically black College/University). This film addresses many social issues that still exist today. Afterward we will have a small discussion and ask you to let us know how you feel about the film.
SCHOOL DAZE
The student body at an all-black college has become increasingly fractionalized over whether or not the university should divest its holdings in apartheid-ridden South Africa. Further polarization is occurring within the fraternity-sorority groups regarding this issue, and the predominantly light-skinned group and the darker-complexioned independents are at odds both inter-racially and politically. The film, in a comical way, illustrates how tension is caused by tradition and custom of a race's mores and folkways. Starring Spike Lee, Larry Fishburne, Giancarlo Esposito, Jasmine Guy, Ossie Davis, Kadeem Hardison and Branford Marsalis. Directed by Spike Lee.
