Concussion

Join us for a special screening of Concussion at The Grand Cinema at 2pm on Sunday, February 23 with a post-film discussion led by LaToya Brackett, MA, PhD, Associate Professor in African American Studies and a member of the Race & Pedagogy Institute’s leadership team at the University of Puget Sound. Stick around after the film & join Dr. Brackett in a discussion around the history and connection of racism & CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) in the NFL, centering the Black American relationship with the NFL & the lawsuit about "race-norming" in CTE compensation from 2021. Finally, we'll tie it all into this most recent Super Bowl, with its major Black presence & message. A dramatic thriller based on the incredible true David vs. Goliath story of American immigrant Dr. Bennet Omalu, the brilliant forensic neuropathologist who made the first discovery of CTE, a football-related brain trauma, in a pro player and fought for the truth to be known. Omalu's emotional quest puts him at dangerous odds with one of the most powerful institutions in the world.DramaPT2H3MPG-132025-02-23
