The Long Shadow follows former CNN Senior Producer and Emmy-Award winning Director Frances Causey as she traces her family’s legacy of white privilege. Causey places this in the context of the history of anti-black racism in the United States that began with slavery and continues to impact our society today. Join her in a live Zoom Q&A to discuss her journey.

"Frances Causey’s personal journey in exposing her own family’s history of slaveholding and how the institution of slavery continues to have an impact today is both brave and incredible… a must see, over and over again!" - Yolanda Smith, Executive Director, NAACP Houston
