Mission:
The Greater New Orleans Fair Housing Action Center (GNOFHAC) is a private, non-profit civil rights organization established in the summer of 1995 to eradicate housing discrimination throughout the greater New Orleans area. Through education, investigation, and enforcement activities, GNOFHAC promotes fair competition throughout the housing marketplace — rental, sales, lending, and insurance. GNOFHAC is dedicated to fighting housing discrimination not only because it is illegal, but also because it is a divisive force that perpetuates poverty, segregation, ignorance, fear, and hatred.

Come to Happening Here: An evening of film, theater, poetry & food
WHAT: Community screening of the documentary project LAND OF OPPORTUNITY, with performances from the Day Labor Theater of Revolution, Stephen Gladney, and New Orleans slam poet Sunni Patterson.
WHERE: Warren Easton High School · 3019 Canal Street, NOLA · (504) 324-7400
WHEN: August 14, 2010 · 5:00pm – 9:00pm (Doors 5; Program 5:30)
COST: Free. (Food will be available for purchase)
WHY: The recent tragedy in Haiti and the unprecedented catastrophe of the BP oil spill in the Gulf Coast reveal that the lessons of post-Katrina New Orleans have only become more relevant over the past five years. The groundbreaking multi-platform documentary LAND OF OPPORTUNITY tells the stories of a diverse group of people who hail from different walks of life but share a stake in the rebirth of New Orleans, one of America’s most emblematic cities.
The ongoing reconstruction of New Orleans has laid bare key urban issues, including affordable housing, immigration, urban redevelopment and economic displacement. Through personal stories, viewers engage with complex problems in an emotional and highly personal way that can inspire action and engagement. LAND OF OPPORTUNITY asks viewers to ponder what the rebuilding of New Orleans can teach them about their own communities. What kinds of cities do we want to create in the 21st century? Will they be truly democratic and diverse spaces or exclusive enclaves designed for tourists and the wealthy?
WHO: New Orleans Video Access Center, JoLu Productions, and organizational partners The Greater New Orleans Fair Housing Action Center, PATOIS: The NOLA International Human Rights Film Festival, and Survivors Village
