Equity Week 2011
THEME:
"Building Communities of Inclusion and Empowerment"
Monday, November 7, 2011: Kick-off Speaker:
(Hart Chapel, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM)
Joe Wilson, presents on his documentary film: Out in the Silence - an Emmy award winning film and campaign for justice, equality and human rights for LGBTQ people in rural and small town America. Musical introduction will be presented by Namoli Brennet, a songwriter who contributed to the Out of the Silence soundtrack.
Out in the Silence captures the remarkable chain of events that unfold when the announcement of filmmaker Joe Wilson's wedding to another man ignites a firestorm of controversy in his small Pennsylvania hometown.
Drawn back by a plea for help from the mother of a gay teen being tormented at school, Wilson's journey dramatically illustrates the universal challenges of being an outsider in a conservative environment and the transformation that is possible when those who have long been constrained by a traditional code of silence summon the courage to break it.
