Not In Our Town returned to Sacramento. In this city, we have documented communities coming together after synagogue arsons [1] and Sikh shootings [2], and yesterday we were invited to share our most recent PBS film, Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness, as part of the city's Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebrations.
MLK Day: Lift Every Voice was sponsored by the Crocker Art Museum [3] and included a music-infused celebration.
200 gather for screening of Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness at Sacramento's Crocker Art Museum.

Susie Wong of the Sacramento Regional Coalition for Tolerance moderated the post-screening panel discussion with film director Patrice O'Neill, U.S. attorney Benjamin Wagner, and Amar Shergill, who serves of the Sacramento Sikh Temple board. The panel explored the issues raised by the film and their connections to the ideals of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
