What does is mean to be American? That’s the issue the citizens of Shelbyville, Tenn., grapple with in 2008, shortly before the election that would seat the country’s first AfricanAmerican president. In this Bible Belt town, however, black and white residents are still trying to live in harmony together, and growing Latino and Somali refugee populations, as well as a scarcity in jobs as the economy begins to nosedive, only adds to the tension. How will it play out? Find out at the Morris Museum of Art when “Welcome to Shelbyville” shows as part of the Southern Circuit of Independent Film series. Stick around afterwards for a question and answer session with director and producer Kim Snyder. “Welcome to Shelbyville” Morris Museum of Art Wednesday, November 16 6 p.m. Free for museum members; $3 for non-members 706-724-7501 themorris.org
