Hutchinson Black and Cook is a proud financial supporter of the broadcast of the film “This is (Not) Who We Are,” at 8 pm (MST) tonight on Rocky Mountain PBS. The film explores the gap between Boulder’s self-image and the actual lived experiences—both historical and contemporary—of its Black citizens. HBC is also sponsoring the national PBS broadcast of the film on June 1.
“This is an important film that sheds a critical light on the history and embedded racism in our community, the effects of which people of color continue to experience in Boulder.” said Meghan Hungate, HBC attorney and co-chair of the firm’s Diversity & Inclusion committee.
Supporting the effort to bring this film to a larger audience is part of HBC’s ongoing effort to create a more equitable and inclusive community in Boulder County through its advocacy work, including changes in law and public policy that address past injustices and discrimination. In 2021, HBC hosted a series of community panel discussions entitled, “The Roots of Today’s Racial Exclusion in Boulder County and the Road Ahead.” This film confirms there is much work yet to do. We hope you tune in to watch it!
