Diversity Movie Night - Something the Lord Made (HBO Films)

June 21, 2007
Redfield Audtiorium
8 p.m.

The WHOI Diversity Committee will sponsor a "Diversity Movie Night" a few times a year. A movie related to diversity themes will be shown in Redfield Auditorium and a discussion will follow.

SOMETHING THE LORD MADE is the story of two men - an ambitious white surgeon and a gifted black carpenter turned lab technician - who defied the racial strictures of the Jim Crow South and together pioneered the field of heart surgery. http://www.hbo.com/films/stlm/
