Small changes can create big impacts. Our next program examines how a single word helped shape decades of belief. Join us Friday, March 27 from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM for a screening of 1946: The Mistranslation that Shifted Culture followed by a panel discussion. This film, first released in 2022, explores how a specific mistranslation of the Bible in the 1940s inadvertently fueled the anti-LGBTQ+ movement in Christianity. Be a part of the bigger discussion by signing up here.

Stories of resilience deserve to be heard! Join us for a powerful conversation with survivors and descendants of the Palm Springs Section 14 demolition, destruction, and displacement. Moderated by Monet Warren and joined by panelists Betty Taylor Mayfield, Deiter Crawford, and Dr. Robert D. Jiles, who will share stories of lived experiences, attempts of erasure, and the resilience of Black and Latinx communities whose narratives continue to shape our region.
