Fatherhood and Family Fun, at NuMu
There are two special events at the Newark Museum in coming days. First, on Thursday, is the NJ premiere of a movie about devalued fatherhood, co-sponsored by the Museum, Fathers Now (a project of Newark Now), and Gradygirl Productions:
"Man Up: The Exploration of a Fatherless Nation" [is being screened] for FREE on Thursday, Feb. 25, 6:00pm at the Newark Museum auditorium. Fathers Now produced this FREE community program in an effort to encourage conversations that rebuild the bonds and responsibility of fatherhood in Newark. "It’s necessary for fathers to hear the hurt from their children as part of the healing process," adds LaVar Young[,] the director of Fathers Now. "Man-Up uncovers the fatherless epidemic that’s affecting the African American community." The post-screening program will include a panel discussion featuring film director and executive producer Tonia Grady[;] music industry executive and author of "Be A Father to Your Child", Bill Stephney[;] Fathers Now Director, LaVar Young[;] and UMDNJ Fatherhood Program Director, Charles Dixon.
