Sylvia Guerrero, mother of hate crime victim Gwen Araujo.
What would you do if hate hit your town?
All too frequently we hear stories of hate violence from vandalism to harassment to murder.
Most of us would like to do something. And the good news is — we do. Not In Our Town
Northern California, looks at five communities over a five year period as they
take action when their neighbors are targets of bigotry.
Intolerance and hate come in many forms, but the models of response and prevention share a
common theme. This urgent and hopeful documentary airs on several Northern California PBS stations
in April, 2005.
