Race and Racism Cincinnati
“Race and Racism in Cincinnati” 3-Part Docuseries
Race and Racism in Cincinnati, a 3-part docuseries, is the telling of Cincinnati’s history from the racial margins, a history that is not often told in school curriculums or in mainstream (white) culture.
The three films explore how race and racism shaped Cincinnati from its inception to the present day and place the storytelling authority in the hands of common people, rather than the people who hold power. Continue to check the link below for updated screening times.

“Race and Racism in Cincinnati” Tour*
The “Race and Racism in Cincinnati” bus tour took people across Cincinnati to hear stories and perspectives from the racial margins. Recognizing that Black bodies viscerally experience racism and that trauma is tied to space, we felt it was necessary to not only learn about racism but to center the learning experience in our bodies by standing in spaces of racial significance that we otherwise might not notice. The tour featured six stops, including the Black Brigade Statue, Jennie Davis Porter park, and King Records. When the COVID-19 pandemic started, the bus tour was canceled and we were able to continue this work by creating the Race and Racism in Cincinnati docuseries.
