The Distinguished Lecture Series presents:

Thursday, October 26th at 7pm

UWM Student Union, Wisconsin Room, 2200 E. Kenwood Blvd. (2nd level)

The Distinguished Lecture Series welcomes Raoul Peck, award winning film director and writer, for a thought provoking and insightful discussion of his latest film, I Am Not Your Negro.  Peck will discuss the film, James Baldwin, and connect the Civil Rights Movement to the issues of segregation, education, and mass incarceration that Milwaukee and so many other places around the world face today.

Peck has created multiple eye-opening and award-winning narratives and documentaries that have screened globally, including Lumumba, Sometimes in April, Man by the Shore and Fatal Assistance. His latest work The Young Karl Marx looks at another key political and historical figure. The totality of Peck’s work demonstrates his deep sense of responsibility towards elevating the conversation about critical current and historic social issues.

Sponsored by Student Involvement, the Department of French, Italian, and Comparative Literature, UWM College of Letters and Sciences, the Alliance Francaise , the Department of Film, the Black Student Union, the Student Association, and with the assistance of other partners.  For more information please contact Krystal McCain at  414.229.5780 or kamccain@uwm.edu
