Jewish Family Service of MetroWest, the Livingston Municipal Alliance Committee and the Livingston Public Schools present a screening of Race to Nowhere: The Dark Side of America’s Achievement Culture on Tuesday, February 15 at 7 p.m. at Livingston High School (snow date February 17).

A dialogue will immediately follow the screening with a panel of educators sharing their reactions and answering questions.
