PBS WISCONSIN & NEHEMIAH Present

OUR HISTORY MATTERS:

WISCONSIN IN BLACK & WHITE

Racial disparity exposed in the daily lives of Wisconsin’s Black and white residents.

Tuesday November 7th

Barrymore Theater at 7pm

FREE ADMISSION

No registration or ticket needed

And this event is I think quite important to our community and culture why? Let me explain

Wisconsin suffers intense racial disparities exposed in common differences between the daily lives of its Black and white residents. A history of racism in the criminal justice and education systems, how these issues are locally unique, as well as efforts to right these wrongs, are explored in Wisconsin in Black & White, a PBS Wisconsin journalism project created in partnership with the Nehemiah Center for Urban Leadership Development. The history, inequities and actions being taken for change in the program were informed and inspired by Nehemiah’s Justified Anger initiative and their Black History for a New Day Course.

The first two episodes of Wisconsin in Black & White will be screened as a part of this event,

Special guests will include those who have developed and been impacted by Justified Anger’s initiatives, including people of color and non-Black allies working to transform their local community and broader state through personal and systemic change. Join us in facing our history so that we can transform the future together.

Please come help make a change in our community because everyone does deserve to be treated equally and if nothing else come sit and get educated on things you may have not even knew.
