Join us at Current Resident for a special screening of A Binding Truth projected onto the studio walls!
Synopsis: Jimmie and De were high school classmates in 1965. Jimmie transferred his senior year from an all-Black high school to an affluent white high school in Charlotte – he was their first Black football star. That decision swept him into one of North Carolina’s most volatile civil rights cases, played out at the explosive intersection of football and race. De watched that case unfold and wrote about it in his college essay application. He said it got him into Harvard. Decades later, a shocking discovery reveals secrets buried in church records that would change their lives. Their story, rooted in the South, is also America’s story – one of slavery’s legacy and our current racial divide. It’s a story of healing and shows a way forward as Jimmie and De explore their binding truth.
