Upcoming Theater Events

Bloomsburg

Hand in Hand Family Resource Center and Bloomsburg University are co-hosting a free screening of the documentary film “The R-Word”.  This 65 minute film “is a purposeful look into the long-reaching history and lasting implications of the word retard(ed) and current attitudes and perceptions about people with intellectual and developmental disabilities,” say its producers. The tale is told with personal explanations that reveal the implications of the word’s use in poignant and sometimes humorous accounts.
 
As we strive for true inclusion in our community for individuals with disabilities it is imperative that we educate everyone about the use of this derogatory word and the repercussions it carries.  I have heard this word leave the mouths of community leaders, educated citizens, children, and members of religious congregations.  I believe this stems from ignorance and by learning how this word truly affects our fellow community members, neighbors, and friends we can finally put an end to its use.  
 
I hope you will join us for the viewing of this film followed by a panel discussion with local self advocates and their families and friends at 6:30pm on March 30th in Kuster Auditorium (Rm. 108)

Hartline Science Center on the campus of Bloomsburg University.
