48th Town Hall 13th Documentary Screening & Discussion

Filmmaker Ava DuVernay explores the history of racial inequality in the United States, focusing on the fact that the nation's prisons are disproportionately filled with African-Americans. When the 13th amendment was ratified in 1865, its drafters left themselves a large, very exploitable loophole in the guise of an easily missed clause in its definition. That clause, which converts slavery from a legal business model to an equally legal method of punishment for criminals, is the subject of the Netflix documentary “13th.” Director Ava DuVernay’s takes an unflinching, well-informed and thoroughly researched look at the American system of incarceration, specifically how the prison industrial complex affects people of color. Her analysis could not be more timely nor more infuriating. The film builds its case piece by shattering piece, inspiring levels of shock and outrage that stun the viewer, leaving one shaken and disturbed before closing out on a visual note of hope designed to keep us on the hook as advocates for change. “13th” begins with an alarming statistic: One out of four African-American males will serve prison time at one point or another in their lives. Our journey begins from there, with a slew of familiar and occasionally surprising talking heads filling the frame and providing information. DuVernay not only interviews liberal scholars and activists for the cause like Angela Davis, Henry Louis Gates and Van Jones, she also devotes screen time to conservatives such as Newt Gingrich and Grover Norquist. Each interviewee is shot in a location that evokes an industrial setting, which visually supports the theme of prison as a factory churning out the free labor that the 13th Amendment supposedly dismantled when it abolished slavery. We’re told that, after the Civil War, the economy of the former Confederate States of America was decimated. Their primary source of income, slaves, were no longer obligated to line Southerners’ pockets with their blood, sweat and tears. Unless, of course, they were criminals. “Except as punishment for a crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted” reads the loophole in the law. In the first iteration of a “Southern strategy,” hundreds of newly emancipated slaves were re-enlisted into free, legal servitude courtesy of minor or trumped-up charges. The duly convicted part may have been questionable, but by no means did it need to be justifiably proven.

Life Update - February 21, 2017

     Well, Blog, it’s been a while. Matt and I broke up mid-December and, lately, haven’t been speaking much. I’m not so afraid of being alone anymore, which is nice. I also don’t really miss him, at all...On the contrary, I’ve been ‘putting myself out there more and it hasn’t been terrible (not in the dating way, more in a friend way)! I reached out to Madison West and Vanessa Silva via Twitter and after a few exchanges we actually hung out. I think I’ve been a better friend lately. Maybe it’s my constant need to be in contact with someone, but I don’t mind staying up to date with the people I care about the most.       I’ve also been going to/will be going to a lot of concerts. Music is becoming a part of my life again and I am so happy about it. I’ve always said that nothing feels better than standing in a room with a bunch of strangers who are there for the exact same reason as you.       Hunter and I are friends again which is cool. I’ve also been talking to Kevin, Harrison and Kyle more frequently. There’s something about a guy’s rawness and honesty that you can appreciate in a friendship that you don’t necessarily get with female friends.       I’m a little over a month into my second semester at Stony Brook and it’s actually, really okay. I have Professor Ricioppo for my broadcast class again which is great, but aside from him all of my professors are strangers to me. I’m taking a beat reporting class, a narrative journalism class, a type of journalism ‘lab’ class and an intro to business class that is far too easy. I think I’m falling behind this semester because it’s so much less demanding than last semester and I’m not stressed out enough to be motivated.       I’m still working for Glenn every Friday and Saturday but I really need to find an internship. I’m really nervous that I either won’t get one, or I’ll get stuck doing something I’m not particularly interested in just to fulfill the University’s requirements.       My favorite thing about this semester so far is my broadcast class. I love my professors and something about shooting and editing video makes me feel like I’m finally good at something. It’s the first thing, in a while, that I feel like I’m actually good at.       I’m not sure what else to write about. I guess I could mention that I did Jenny Craig for seven months and have lost 30 pounds, but that’s nothing special anymore. At first I loved it, but now the schedule of foods that I’m supposed to be eating is too repetitive. I’ve been trying to make healthy choices on my own and this morning my scale said that I’m down another two pounds.       Overall I’ve been feeling really good and confident with myself. I’m not sure how to end this other than mentioning how happy I am and how I finally feel like I’m finding myself.

FIFTH YEAR ANNIVERSARY | EXO's FINAL MEMBER: C H A N Y E O L  ⤷ teaser released on 02.22.2012

When I first saw this teaser, I thought he would be the shy, quiet maknae of the group. And I guess we were all surprised when we found out he was actually the rapper whose deep voice did not match his cute looks. What I also did not expect was how passionate, driven, and multi-talented he would be. From time to time, I still go back to watch this teaser and I feel proud of how far he's come and how much he has improved over the last five years. I know Chanyeol will never stop learning and improving and these are just some of the qualities he possesses which I admire most about him. There's so much more I want to say but I will keep it short as this is merely a small celebration and a thank you for giving us EXO's voice and fire: Park Chanyeol. I wish you nothing but happiness and please don't forget that your health is important, too. [02.21.2017]
