Loyola is sponsoring free shuttles and a free screening of this documentary that follows residents of the downtown Baltimore section on Rosebank Avenue on their daily lives, both their struggles and joys. Their stories are told in conjunction with the Baltimore Police's stories as they connect with neighbors in the area, keeping them safe and trying to maintain professional behaviors. After the movie, Alex Long will address questions and comments from students as they come to see a part of Baltimore that they only read about. Our students will hear about the happy moments and the frustrations of Alex and his neighbors. This event is an opportunity for our students to discern and discover the stereotypes that falsely inform their judgments and to see why community is so important. This event is also a chance for our students to experience our York Road community. There is also ample material available for follow-up discussions in enrichments about systematic injustices that haunt some neighborhoods and find ways to make meaningful changes now and in the future.
Shuttles depart from Boulder and will continuously run on loop to the Senator Theatre and back from 5pm to 7pm and then from 9pm-10pm to shuttle folks back to campus.
