Beyond the Report: A Plan for Progress  
It is 1923 in Lubbock, Texas, and City Ordinance 225 hits the books—an effort to ban African-Americans from living in any area of Lubbock west of Avenue C and north of 16th Street. It states: "Their residence is dangerous to the health and pollutes the earth and atmosphere."  Some say the racist ordinance was not actually official nor enforced. But it also was not repealed until 2006—83 years after it was written. 

Many Hub City residents may dismiss racist roots, viewing it as an unfortunate trait of our ancestors. But is our past, truly, in the past? That depends on whom you ask. A newer city document, a comprehensive plan for the future, outlines some of the challenges communities of color face in Lubbock and offers solutions. Now, it is up to the city to stick to Plan Lubbock 2040—and citizens are holding them accountable.

Join us for Beyond the Report—looking at the history of segregation in Lubbock and the hopes for positive change in historically Black neighborhoods.

Downing of a Flag, Pt. 1 
"Downing of a Flag" is a documentary film that focuses on the Confederate Battle flag and its impact on the people, politics, and perceptions of South Carolina and beyond. Through firsthand interviews featuring various perspectives and a wealth of historical footage, "Downing of a Flag" traces the symbol's controversial relationship with the Palmetto State, exploring its true meaning and how an unspeakable tragedy served as the catalyst for its long-debated removal. The story begins with the end of the Civil War and chronicles the flag's more than 150-year journey from the blood-soaked battlefields of Virginia to its use in American popular culture in the 1970s and 1980s, to its final removal from the South Carolina State House grounds in July 2015. Preceded by the killing of nine black parishioners at Charleston's historic Mother Emanuel AME Church by a white supremacist, the Confederate Battle flag's furling and the days and actions that led to that event could represent the final shots and battles of the American Civil War. Despite representing an end to a significant chapter in United States history, "Downing of a Flag" shows that the events of 2015 did not complete the story. Instead, we continue to see the flag used as a symbol, and as a result, it continues to haunt American Democracy.
