Back By Popular Demand: "Woke Up Black" Screening & Panel

On Thursday, October 23, the UI Public Policy Center will be hosting a second screening and discussion panel of the documentary Woke Up Black. This documentary follows five black youth ages 16-21, over the course of two years, capturing both day-to-day life events, interactions with the justice system, and major milestones. The film focuses on the youths’ ideas and opinions in their own words, and underscores the humanity that we all share regardless of race or age.

Following the screening, we will hold a panel discussion about the film with Producer Mary Morten and two of the film’s subjects - Morgan Price and Carter Tindell-Hall.

The event is free and open to the public, seats first come, first served.  Doors will open at 6:00 p.m.

Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to attend all University of Iowa-sponsored events. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation in order to participate in this program, please contact Leslie Gannon at (319) 335-6817 or leslie-gannon@uiowa.edu.
