To round out the first full day of the summit, on December 4th, attendees and members of the Montgomery community will have the opportunity to view a special screening of "The Skin You’re In," a poignant documentary that addresses the stark reality that Black Americans live sicker and die younger than any other ethnic group in the nation. The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with Writer and Executive Producer, Thomas LaVeist, offering deeper insight into the intersections of history, policy, and personal narratives that shape health outcomes today.
 
This special screening will take place at the Montgomery Performing Arts Centre. The screening is free and open to the public. All registrants will receive a ticket to the screening. We ask that all members of the public reserve a free ticket on the Montgomery Performing Arts Center website.
 
This film includes themes such as death, discrimination, racism, and gun violence, which may be distressing or triggering for some viewers. The film explores deeply personal and often challenging issues. They reflect lived experiences and may present perspectives different from our own.
