Join or Die Film Screening 

Join the CVC for a screening of the documentary Join or Die. After the screening we will be joined via Zoom with the director of the film for a Q&A.

Join or Die is a film about why you should join a club – and why the fate of America depends on it. In this feature documentary, follow the half-century story of America’s civic unraveling through the journey of legendary Harvard social scientist Robert Putnam, whose groundbreaking “Bowling Alone” research into America’s decades-long decline in community connections could hold the answers to our democracy’s present crisis. Flanked by influential fans and scholars – from Hillary Clinton, Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Surgeon General Viveck Murthy to Eddie Glaude Jr., Raj Chetty, and Priya Parker – as well as inspiring groups building community in neighborhoods across the country, join Bob as he explores three urgent civic questions: What makes democracy work? Why is American democracy in crisis? And, most importantly… What can we do about it? 

Pizza and beverages will be provided starting at 5:30pm.

America's Real Sister Act: Illuminating the Hidden Lives and Legacies of Black Catholic Nuns in the United States
Dr. Shannen Dee Williams

Subversive Habits provides the first full history of Black Catholic nuns in the United
States. 

Drawing upon a wide array of sources, including previously sealed church records and over 100 oral history interviews, this book tells the story of America’s real sister act: how generations of Black Catholic women and girls called to religious life in the Roman Catholic Church fought against racism, sexism, and exclusion to become and minister as consecrated women of God. 

This groundbreaking study also turns overdue attention to women’s religious life as a stronghold of white supremacy and racial segregation—and thus an important battleground in the long African American freedom struggle.

Dr. Shannen Dee Williams is Associate Professor of History at the University of Dayton. She is an award-winning scholar of the African American experience and Black Catholicism with research and teaching specializations in women’s, religious, and Black freedom movement history.
