The African American Cultural Society (AACS) and Seeking Insights for Solutions (SIS) are proud to partner in presenting A Binding Truth, an award-winning documentary on racial reconciliation.

This powerful 90-minute film tells the true story of Jimmie, who in 1965 became the first Black football star at an affluent Charlotte, NC high school. His arrival thrust him into the center of one of the state’s most volatile civil rights battles. His classmate De observed the events and reflected on them in a college essay. Decades later, church records revealed hidden connections between their families, uncovering long-buried truths that continue to shape America’s legacy of slavery, racial division, and the hard work of healing.

Program Highlights:
• Film Screening (90 minutes)
• Interactive Commentary & Discussion immediately following the screening
• Refreshments for purchase, a cash bar, and complimentary dessert snack

Special Engagement:
On Sunday, September 28 at 3:00 PM, join us at AACS (or online) for a live Zoom interview with Jimmie, De, and filmmaker Lois Woehrie. They will answer questions and share deeper insights into their journey. Attendees at the screening will receive the Zoom link to participate from another location, if preferred. However, we hope you will join us again.
