Event Name: Black Film Series Event Locator: 2025-AATAZP Event State: Confirmed Organization: Office of Diversity Join the Office of Diversity, Sociology Department and African American Studies Program for a film screening and discussion of Judas and the Black Messiah. In this 2021 award-winning, long-awaited film focused on Fred Hampton, founder of the Rainbow Coalition and the Illinois State Chair of the Black Panther Party, the work and legacy of the Black Panther Party in general and that of Fred Hampton, Deborah Johnson, and other Panthers in refusing state violence through political education, organizing, survival programs, and revolutionary actions are explored. This film screening is part of Lewis University's Fall 2025 "Refusing Silence: A Black Film & Dialogue Series on Resistance and Reclamation." “Refusing Silence” is a three-part co-curricular film and dialogue series inspired by Dr. Kellie Carter Jackson’s powerful work, We Refuse: A Forceful History of Black Resistance. All are welcome to join this intentional space for collective engagement, healing, and intellectual empowerment through the lens of Black film. Each session centers a film that echoes the themes of rebellion, refusal, radical love, joy and communal resilience, opening up rich conversations that connect historical Black resistance to contemporary struggles and triumphs. Anchored in monthly gatherings leading up to Black History Month, this series prepares the campus for Dr. Carter Jackson’s in-person visit to the Romeoville Campus on 2/11/26 by building a community of reflection and action. It is more than a film series—it is a reclamation of space, voice, and narrative at Lewis University.
