GU professors host Toni Morrison documentary

A month ago, I wrote a blog post that was, ummmm, a bit early. And, at first, wrong. The post concerned a screening of the documentary film “Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am.” Or, more specifically, it concerned a special event tagged to that film.

Well, now that event — the actual event — is occurring. And it’s occurring tonight. A special screening of the documentary will take place at 7 at the Magic Lantern Theater . Directed by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, the film premiered on Jan. 27 at the Sundance Film Festival .

And here’s the special part: The film will be presented by two Gonzaga University professors, Jessica Maucione and Inga Laurent . Maucione is an Associate Professor of English and Women’s & Gender Studies , while Laurent is an Associate Professor of Law and Director of the Externship Program at the GU School of Law .

Admission to the screening is $9. That’s a small price to pay for what is sure to be an educational experience.
