Efamily member shares re Taraji Henson film & GoFundMe for Churches burned in Louisiana

See Taraji P. Henson and Sam Rockwell starring in "The Best of Enemies." This is a strange but true story - the film does not show KKK brutality but chooses instead to show how a two-week-long charrette (a series of meetings) of ordinary citizens can be used to resolve racial conflicts and decide whether the schools should do the right thing and be integrated. Racism, disgusting as it is, truly is a mask for fear and ignorance.

[Many municipalities around the world develop long-term city plans or visions through multiple charrettes - both communal and professional.]

The true story of the unlikely relationship between Ann Atwater, an outspoken civil rights activist, and C.P. Ellis, a local Ku Klux Klan leader. During the racially charged summer of 1971, Atwater and Ellis come together to co-chair a community summit/charrette on the desegregation of schools in Durham, N.C. The ensuing debate and battle soon lead to surprising revelations that change both of their lives forever.

On a different topic but speaking of doing the right thing, A GOFUNDME page has been set up for the 3 black churches burned in Louisiana in March/April this year:

1) APRIL 4 Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in Opelousas, La. An overnight fire had consumed the church’s interior; smoke rose through a gaping hole in the roof that had sheltered congregants for generations. Mount Pleasant became the third predominantly black church to burn down in Louisiana’s St. Landry Parish in the span of 10 days, setting local residents on edge.
2) On March 26, flames reduced St. Mary Baptist Church in Port Barre to rubble.
3) And on April 2, a blaze struck the Greater Union Baptist Church in Opelousas.

A white sheriff deputy's 21-year-old son, Holden Matthews, was arrested 4/10/19 and charged on three arson counts in connection with three racially-motivated church burnings in St. Landry Parish that have frightened black communities. Matthews was planning more fires.
