NORTH NEWTON A 2018 documentary featuring a widely acclaimed anti-racist educator is the third offering in the 2019-20 KIPCOR Film Series.

The Kansas Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution at Bethel College will screen The Great White Hoax Feb. 9 at 3 p.m. in Krehbiel Auditorium in Luyken Fine Arts Center.

Wichita native, long-time journalist, and former director of The Kansas African American Museum Mark McCormick will lead the talk-back session following the 72-minute film.

It is free and open to the public, with a freewill offering taken to support the work of KIPCOR.

The Great White Hoax looks at the politics of white grievance, white supremacy and racial scapegoating with the help of teacher and author Tim Wise.

The film explores how American political leaders of both parties have been tapping into white anxiety, stoking white grievance and scapegoating people of color for decades to divide and conquer working class voters and consolidate power.

While its primary focus is Donald Trumps race-baiting 2016 U.S. presidential campaign, the film also widens its scope to show how Trumps charged rhetoric about African Americans, Latinos and Muslims fits within a longstanding historical pattern of racism and racial scapegoating that goes back centuries in American politics.
