Racism Summer Film Series The Center for the Healing of Racism offers movies and talk in a "responsible forum in which to hold conversations on race relations." After showing a film concerning some aspect of racism, the center's leaders mediate a discussion. Tonight's film, The Bluest Eyes, concerns a Kansas City experiment in which 40 Kansas City locals (black, Hispanic, white) received pseudo-scientific data about blue-eyed people. The film explores the effects of this data on the blue-eyed individuals' ability to maintain intellectual and emotional stability. The outcome of this experiment is both troubling and thought-provoking, and the discussion that will follow this film promises to be fascinating. 7:30 p.m. Westbury United Methodist Church, 5200 Willowbend, 520-8226. Free.
