Church | House of Worship Partnership

Throughout the course of history, the church has remained a symbol of hope and a strong voice in the cause of freedom, justice and equality. Today, we continue to count on our faith institutions in this same manner. Our premier feature film this year is “Emmett Till: White Lies, Black Death.” This film uncovers the true story of the lynching of Emmett Till and the investigation. We want to extend an invitation for you to join us.
