This panel discussion will explore racial and ethnic "passing" in these critically-acclaimed novels as well as their adaptations for the screen. Excerpts from both films will be shown, as panelists examine the complex historical struggle of Black and Jewish Americans to feel that they belong in this country. Free and open to the public. Advance registration required.
