Asif Wilson, assistant professor Curriculum & Instruction, will host a screening of his new documentary, Against the Current.
The screening will take place on February 11 from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. at the Spurlock Museum Auditorium.
The film follows Kyla, a high school senior and community organizer, who journeys across Illinois in search of ways Black people have resisted oppression throughout history. Drawing on interviews and archival research, the film illuminates Black resistance in Illinois and around the world, with the hope of inspiring others to remember the past and reimagine their role(s) in shaping the future.
The screening is free to attend. Please register to attend.
