MSNBC presents MEETING DAVID WILSON
Howard University will host
MSNBC’s World Premiere of “Meeting David
Wilson”, a young man’s journey
of
self-discovery from his upbringing in Newark to his ancestral roots in North
Carolina on
Friday, April 11 from 9 p.m. – 12 midnight in
Cramton Auditorium. Coinciding with the 40th anniversary
of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,
NBC News will lead a live on-air town hall
discussion
following the documentary, hosted by anchor Brian Williams with contributor Tiki
Barber.
According to NBC News, “a
high-powered panel will be featured following the documentary to tackle
some of the issues raised about African-American men and race in America looking
at public perceptions
fueled by media images, unemployment, lack of educational opportunities, and the
impact of
the criminal justice system. Featured on the panel will be Howard faculty member
Greg E. Carr, Ph.D.,
associate professor of Afro-American Studies, whose research and work in
developing curriculum
and instructional strategies to improve African-American male educational
performance at the
elementary, middle, high school and college levels has informed several major
educational reform initiatives.
"Meeting David Wilson"
David Wilson is a 28-year-old
African-American man from Newark, New Jersey. He grew up in a tough,
urban neighborhood, but managed to navigate his way out of poverty and into the
world of news production
in New York City. Now, meet another David Wilson, who is a 62-year-old white man
from rural North Carolina.
He grew up in Caswell County, where his ancestors once farmed tobacco. The two
men share more
than just a name -- David's ancestors were once enslaved by the other's
forebears in the antebellum South.
In "Meeting David Wilson," the two men come face-to-face to confront their
storied past. The 90-minute
documentary records the unusual "family reunion" as the New Jersey Wilson family
travels back to the
North Carolina plantations to meet the white Wilson's; meeting on the very same
plantation where lives
were sacrificed and where racial equality was once unthinkable. "What you have
in the two of us is the
story of two races and two generations honestly talking about the dark cloud of
slavery and its
continuing impact on our families and our lives even today," said director David
Wilson.
"We intend to ignite a candid and unprecedented conversation about race."
TICKETS REQUIRED: Distribution will start at 10 am on Tuesday, April 8th at the Cramton Auditorium Box Office on a first come, first serve basis. There is a 2 ticket per person limit and seating is general admission (no reserved seating).

Cramton Auditorium
presents a FORD SPECIAL ADVANCE MOVIE SCREENING
of
"THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM"
An American teenager who is obsessed with Hong
Kong cinema
and kung-fu classics makes an extraordinary discovery
in a Chinatown pawnshop: the legendary stick weapon of the
Chinese sage and warrior, the Monkey King. With the lost relic in hand,
the teenager unexpectedly finds himself traveling back to
ancient China to join a crew of warriors from martial arts lore on a
dangerous quest to free the imprisoned Monkey King.
Directed by Rob Minkoff (Stuart Little, Lion
King), the film marks
the first-ever onscreen pairing of martial arts superstars
Jackie Chan (Rush Hour, Drunken Master) and Jet Li (Fearless,
Once Upon a Time in China). The original screenplay by John Fusco
(Young Guns, Hidalgo) is based on the traditional Chinese legend
of the Monkey King. The film is produced by Casey Silver
(Ladder 49, Hidalgo, the upcoming Leatherheads) of Casey Silver
Productions. Renowned action choreographer Wo Ping (The Matrix,
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon) is creating the fight sequences, and the
director of photography is Peter Pau (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon).
