Colors: A Dialogue on Race in America

Colors is the 2025 winner of the Belva Davis Award, presented by the SAG-AFTRA American Scene Awards. Colors is a frank discussion about race. Join JJ Green, who is black and guests of different racial backgrounds as they discuss the challenges the nation faces as it struggles to heal and make meaningful changes for racial equality. It's a safe, non-judgmental, apolitical space to discuss race. Join us.
