South Florida People of Color Presents What is Black III at Barry University
(MIAMI, FL) As part of Black History Month, Barry University will host What is Black III: Colorism and its Impact on Communities of Color on Thursday, February 27 on the Miami Shores Campus in Weber Hall. The event will feature an exclusive screening of the documentary Dark Girls, an exploration of deep-seated biases and attitudes about skin color.
