Documentary Screening (Shaker Heights: The Struggle for Integration)
Join us for a screening of and discussion about the 1997 documentary, Shaker Heights: The Struggle for Integration, chronicling a moment of reckoning with inequity in the town where Little Fires Everywhere takes place.
"Shaker Heights, a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, is noted for its affluence, the quality of its public schools, and its success at racial integration. But an article in the local high school newspaper reporting wide racial disparity in the student test scores challenged the community's assumption of racial equality. The documentary examines the ideals and the realities of a community where black and white families have lived side by side for nearly 40 years."
A part of One Book One Town 2025: building connections, community, and conversation around one book.
