This exhibit highlights the Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision of 1896, which legally sanctioned racial segregation in the United States until 1954 when the Supreme Court overturned Plessy in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case. Materials from the Library's collections and archives highlight the historical period between these two landmark civil rights cases. For more information contact Betsy Kruger at: [email protected] September 17 Reading Brown: Walt Harrington, author of Crossing: A White Man's Journey Into Black America. Noon at the YMCA. Streaming for this event is available at: http://will.uiuc.edu/community/brownarchives.htm September 18 Community Sing with Ysaye Barnwell, of the internationally acclaimed vocal quintet Sweet Honey in the Rock, will be teaching music from the African American tradition. Musical forms may include calls, chants, spirituals, ring shouts, hymns, gospels, songs of resistance from the Civil Rights and other freedom movements, and contemporary songs. Her visit is in conjunction with performances by Sweet Honey in the Rock at Krannert Center on 9/19 and 9/20. Ysaye Barnwell has performed with the internationally acclaimed a cappella quintet, Sweet Honey In The Rock since 1979. She appears as a vocalist (and/or instrumentalist) on more than twenty-five recordings with Sweet Honey as well as with other artists. She has worked as a commissioned composer on numerous and varied projects, all outgrowths of her understanding of creative arts as inextricably bound to society. Barnwell holds a doctorate in Speech Pathology, has post-doctoral experience in Public Health, and has administered D.C.-based community health projects in computer technology and the arts. Sweet Honey in the Rock is a Grammy Award-winning African American female a cappella ensemble with deep musical roots in the sacred music of the black church - spirituals, hymns, gospel - as well as jazz and blues. The Sweet Honey experience is like no other. Five African American women join their powerful voices, along with hand percussion instruments, to create a blend of lyrics, movement and narrative that variously relate history, point the finger at injustice, encourage activism, and sing the praises of love. The quintet, whose words are simultaneously interpreted in uniquely expressive American Sign Language, demands a just and humane world for all. 7:00 pm in the Main Lounge of Allen Hall, 1005 W. Gregory, Urbana. Free and Open to the Public. Parking is available in the parking garage across the street. September 25 The GWS Film Series: Girlfight dir.

Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best Dramatic Film at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival. The GWS film series is free and open to the public, and is sponsored by the Office of the Chancellor as part of the 2003-04 Brown Jubilee Commemoration.

"In telling the detailed story of the Supreme Court's 1953 decision to abolish racial segregation in schools, this superb 1991 TV movie covers a broad specturm of issues, never taking its "eyes off the prize" while its first-rate cast conveys the importance of the Supreme Court's ultimately unanimous decision."

September 30 Jaime Escalante, “Ganas: Creating the Desire to Learn,” a remarkable man—a high school teacher whose students, underprivileged and Hispanic, have set standards in mathematics all but unequaled in American education. Escalante taught math and physics in Bolivia for 11 years until 1964, when he immigrated to the U.S. After receiving an AA degree in electronics, he worked with Burroughs Corporation, and in 1974 became a math teacher for Garfield High School. In 1999, he was officially inducted into the Teachers Hall of Fame. His fascinating, unforgettable and inspirational story gives a vivid picture of genius in the teaching profession that has caused Mr. Escalante to be the subject of both a book entitled Escalante: The best teacher in America and a movie entitled Stand and Deliver, one of 1988’s most acclaimed films.

  • Die Gewalt in Den Körpern
    # 2019/11 dschungel https://jungle.world/artikel/2019/11/die-gewalt-den-koerpern »Destroyer«, der jüngste Film der Regisseurin Karyn Kusama Die Gewalt in den Körpern Von Benjamin Moldenhauer Karyn Kusama inszeniert mit »Destroyer« einen weiblichen Polizeifilm mit einer herausragenden Nicole Kidman als traumatisierter ­Ermittlerin. Wie in einer Versuchsanordnung zeigen die Filme der US-amerikanischen Regisseurin Karyn Kusama, was entstehen kann, wenn Genreregeln nach feministischen Kriterien verändert werden. Ihr Kinodebüt »Girlfight« (2000) erzählte den klassischen »Rocky«-Plot (ein Mann boxt sich von unten nach oben) mit einer Prota­gonistin, die den Mann, in den sie verliebt ist, im Kampf verdrischt. Die konsequentesten Umschreibungen hat Kusama bislang im Horrorgenre unternommen. »Jennifer’s Body« (2009) spielt mit der Angst vor der vagina dentata, wenn die Titelheldin ermordet wird und als Wiedergängerin ihre Mitschüler frisst. »Her Only Living Son«, Kusamas Beitrag zum US-amerikanisch- kanadischen Episodenfilm »XX«, eine Horroranthologie, deren sämtliche Beiträge von Regisseurinnen inszeniert wurden, lässt eine alleinerziehende Mutter gegen Satan antreten. Kusama zeigt, was aus Rosemarys Baby hätte werden können. In den physisch schmerzhaften Action-Szenen wird spürbar, dass die ausgezehrt wirkende Frau ihre Energie nur noch aus ihrer ungeheuren Wut bezieht – einer Mischung aus Aggression und Selbsthass. Ihr jüngster Film »Destroyer« nimmt sich den Polizeithriller vor. Der Film knüpft an die mythisch überhöhte Figur des einsamen Cops an, der mit den Mitteln des offiziellen Ermittlungsapparates nicht mehr weiterkommt und auf eigene Faust agiert. »Dirty Harry« ist das große Vorbild. Kusama schickt eine ungeschminkte Nicole Kidman in den Krieg gegen eine Gang von Bankräubern. Mit jeder Einstellung scheint Kidman daran zu erinnnern, wie selten Hauptrollen mit Frauen über 40 besetzt werden.

Kate (Clarke) harrumphs around London, a bundle of bad decisions accompanied by the jangle of bells on her shoes, another irritating consequence from her job as an elf in a year-round Christmas shop. Tom (Golding) seems too good to be true when he walks into her life and starts to see through so many of Kate’s barriers. As London transforms into the most wonderful time of the year, nothing should work for these two. But sometimes, you gotta let the snow fall where it may, you gotta listen to your heart … and you gotta have faith. Set in London during the 2017 holiday, Last Christmas features the music of George Michael and Wham!, including the bittersweet holiday classic of the film’s title.

  • GIRLS on the BORDERLINE Rewriting the Rite of Passage Film
    GIRLS ON THE BORDERLINE Rewriting the Rite of Passage Film Esther Jo Steiner Doctor of Philosophy Feature Film Screenwriting Media Arts Department Royal Holloway, University of London - iii - Abstract Girl protagonists in rite of passage films regularly come to be burdened with a sobering maturity that sees them acquire a dysphoric subjective position under an oppressive patriarchal paradigm. According to Oedipal logics, both genders, in extricating themselves from the imaginary fullness of the maternal bond, come to be subjects of lack, but culturally entrenched patriarchal fictions concur in fostering masculine narcissism at the expense of the feminine. This practice-based research asks how the Oedipal narrative structure, which has defined twentieth- century mainstream cinema, can be re-appropriated and re- imagined for the purpose of writing a screenplay that highlights the girl’s active and constructive engagement in the project of selfhood. My reading of seven films, which are all at the low-budget end of the mainstream (studio-financed as well as independent), details parallel structures and discourses within the proposed genre. Victor Turner’s rite of passage model is used as a template for understanding rite of passage plot structure and transformative symbolism, while key concepts in Lacanian psychoanalysis serve to throw light on the adolescent girl’s psychosexual development. My reading of Girlfight, which follows Luce Irigaray’s critique of phallocentrism and concept of intersubjective dialogue, provides a key insight into how the narrative aspects of film can provide a propitious environment for resolving cultural impasse and catalysing understanding and change. I have written my screenplay Lullaby, which accompanies the thesis as Appendix IV, in accordance with my research goals.

The events that were attended by members of the EBC that were listed on the Brown website have a star next to them. The events listed on the main website were not inclusive of all of the Brown events throughout the university nor is it inclusive of the Brown events sponsored by the Chancellors office. Many Brown related events were planned throughout the semester by various groups including student groups- not all of these events made it to the website. This list is also not inclusive of all of the events that came to our attention that list is impossible to generate. The list we did generate is abridged and includes information that difference campus constituencies give importance to such as outreach information and sponsorship, when this information was available.
