DESCRIPTION:'Dear white people\, please stop touching my hair\,' requests m
 ain character \nSam White (played by Tessa Thompson). This is among the fi
 rst of many \nimpassioned requests she makes to her White classmates to tr
 y harder to \nunderstand the plight of Black faces in White spaces.\n\nAs 
 the nation continues to engage in difficult conversations about modern era
  \nrace relations\, the theme of this year's Black Heritage Month programm
 ing is \n*Black Bodies\, Black Lives. *As part of a series of films\, we w
 ill screen the \ncritically acclaimed 2014 film\, /Dear White People/\, an
 d we are very \nfortunate to be able to discuss the film immediately follo
 wing with its \nvisionary writer and director\, Justin Simien. Mr. Simien'
 s two-day campus \nvisit will also include guest lectures in various cours
 es on Thursday\, \nFebruary 19.\n\n/Dear White People/ is social satire th
 at follows the stories of four black \nstudents at an Ivy League college w
 here controversy breaks out over a popular \nbut offensive black-face part
 y thrown by white students. With tongue planted \nfirmly in cheek\, the fi
 lm explores racial identity in acutely-not-post-racial \nAmerica while wea
 ving a universal story of forging one's unique path in the \nworld.\n\nMr.
  Simien won the Special Jury Prize in the dramatic category of directing 
 \nat the 2014 Sundance Awards for Dear White People\, his debut film. He w
 as \nalso named to /Variety/ magazines '10 Directors to Watch' list in 201
 3.\n\n
