Man on Fire: A Texas Town and its Racist Roots
Trigger warning: This film is highly emotional and discusses an actual case of suicide, specifically self-immolation as sociopolitical protest. Man on Fire tells the story of a white minister, Charles Moore, who set himself on fire in 2014 to protest the racism in his small town of Grand Saline, TX.
As a result of using this media resource, participants will be able to:
- Explore what small town racism looks like in contemporary America.
- Question the efficacy of Charles Moore’s death by protest in changing the situation.
