Victor Lewis and Hugh Vasquez, principal cast members of “The Color of Fear,” a breakthrough film on race relations in the United States, will draw upon decades of experience in multicultural education and activism in a free interactive public lecture at 7 p.m., Feb. 24 in the Jepson Center’s Wolff Auditorium at Gonzaga University.
Vasquez and Lewis will engage the audience through dialogue and by posting questions involving issues intersecting race, inclusion, privilege and gender, according to a press release. In addition, they will use clips from “The Color of Fear” to make their points.
Vasquez and Lewis also co-authored “Lessons from The Color of Fear,” a four-volume text used by educators, diversity trainers, and facilitators in conjunction with the film. Vasquez is one of the nation’s top diversity educators and national consultants to campuses and organizations. Lewis is a nationally recognized social justice educator, trainer and activist who founded and directs the Radical Resilience Institute.
