See all- My Father's Name: Film Screening and Community DiscussionUnitarian Universalist Community Church, Portage, MI
Join us on Sunday, October 5, at 12:00 PM for a special screening of My Father’s Name, a 20-minute documentary that tells the intimate story of Jan Frazier, who discovers—years after her father’s death—that he participated in a lynching. What begins as a search for truth becomes a deeply personal reckoning. Jan must confront her love for her father, grapple with family accountability, and face the dawning awareness of her own unconscious racism.
This moving story is not only about one family’s legacy, but also about how we as a nation wrestle with history, justice, and healing.
