OKUS Presents Identidad Re-imagined: A documentary screening and discussion with filmmaker Dash Harris.

What does it mean to be Black in America? What does it mean to be Latino/a? What does it mean to be both? With these questions in mind, FOKUS presents an exclusive screening of Negro: A Docu-Series about Latino Identity and discussion with the series creator and director Dash Harris. 
The docu-series explores the history and presents attitudes of race, color, self-identification, and social interaction among Latinos from Latinos themselves. 
This dynamic event will demonstrate the diversity of the Black experience and to challenge how we think about identity.
