Beaver hosted a screening of the documentary The Road to Justice at Upper School meeting this past Wednesday. Following the 30-minute film, students had the opportunity to talk with the filmmaker—André Robert Lee—about the documentary’s themes, the painful truth, and ways to move forward.

About the film
The Road to Justice follows two groups on a Civil Rights tour through the American South as they reckon with the profound racial injustice of our recent past. The first, a group of predominantly Black middle school students from Chicago, and the second, a group of older Americans who lived through the 1960’s Civil Rights era. The film is a testament to the power of place and direct experience in creating transformational change. It is also a call to action. Learn more.
