Screening of “Divided by Diversity” tonight at 6:30 P.M. at The Bronx Museum on 1040 Grand Concourse (165th Street). This event is sponsored by Justice League NYC and will be followed by a panel with the full cast and the director.

“Divided by Adversity” features five students from New York City who were accepted to Mount St. Joseph Academy, a private school in Rutland, Vermont. The film, directed by musician and filmmaker Duane Carleton, reveals the resistance they endured, both publicly and behind the scenes. The film also exposes many of the contemporary elements fueling modern day racism.
