The Center on Race and Social Problems (CRSP) will be hosting a film screening and panel discussion in the Frick Fine Arts auditorium on January 20, 2023 as part of MLK Social Justice Week. The film, ‘How Does It Feel To Be A Problem’, is an award-winning documentary that traces the phenomenon of othering in America and situates the Black Lives Matter movement in historical, philosophical and political context. The title of the film is based on W.E.B. DuBois' famous question that he raised in his seminal book, "The Souls of Black Folk." The film has not yet been publicly released, so this engagement is a unique opportunity for the Pitt community to see the film and engage directly with both the writer, JW Wiley, and the director, Tom Keith.
