Racism In America - New Film Reveals The Untold History Of Our Nation


BOSTON, March 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The film 'An American Story: Race Amity and the Other Tradition' explores the moral counterweights to the tradition of racism in America and how we can move together towards our nation's motto - 'E Pluribus Unum'. 

Frederick Douglass abolitionist, philosopher and statesman and Daniel O'Connell, abolitionist, Emancipator of Ireland and Universalist, held a powerful friendship that advanced access and equity in Ireland, Britain and America.

This thought-provoking, inspiring and emotional film tells the story of cross-cultural friendships that tackled racism and inequality in the past. 

This racial amity has come to be known as 'the other tradition' of America and today, paves the way for us all to engage in positive discourse and action, in the current climate of national disunity.
