The conversation about race that began last month at the premiere of the locally produced documentary film, “The Blackness Project,” continues at 5 p.m. March 24, when the film is screened in the Unitarian Universalist Church of Buffalo, 695 Elmwood Ave. at West Ferry Street. Admission is $10.

An interactive community panel discussion will follow the screening. Panelists include Korey Green, writer, director and executive producer of the film; Peter Johnson, actor and executive producer; the Rev. Joan Montagnes, pastor of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Buffalo; and a diverse group of local community members.
