Born in 1924\, in Harlem\, Baldwin spent much of his life abroad\, and in these three short films — made in Istanbul\, Paris\, and London (with Dick Gregory) — he can be charming\, candid\, churlish\, witty\, and acerbic. Whether ruminating on his own “American-ness\,” his experience as a child-minister\, Black Power\, or the nature of love and sexuality\, creativity\, freedom\, and survival — his unsparing opinions are never less than eye-opening\, and his onscreen presence never less than riveting. All three films included in this program have been recently restored.\n\nCosponsored by ColorLit\nhttps://www.colorlituwm.com/home URL:/studentaffairs/event/james-baldwin-abroad/ LOCATION:51 Student Union (UN)\, 2200 East 51.\, Milwaukee\, WI\, 53211\, United States CATEGORIES:Arts and Culture,Connect,Film/Screening,Prepare,Public,Students,Thrive ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:/studentaffairs/wp-content/uploads/sites/184/2026/03/Baldwin-1.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="Union Cinema":MAILTO:cinema@uwm.edu X-TRIBE-STATUS: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260424T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260424T120000 DTSTAMP:20260418T140453 CREATED:20260302T184629Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260302T184629Z UID:10004240-1777024800-1777032000@uwm.edu SUMMARY:Earth Week Neighborhood Cleanup DESCRIPTION:Outdoor Pursuits\, Off Campus Resource Center\, and The Center For Student Experience & Talent are joining forces to support the 51 Neighborhood! \nJoin us on Friday\, April 24th from 10am-Noon to take a break\, step outside\, and help make our community even more beautiful by picking up litter.

Influential feminist theorist and filmmaker Trinh T. Minh-ha’s lyrical film essay commemorating the 40th anniversary of the end of the war draws inspiration from ancient legend and from water as a force evoked in every aspect of Vietnamese culture. Minh-ha’s classic Surname Viet Given Name Nam (1989) used no original footage shot in the country; in Forgetting Vietnam images of contemporary life unfold as a dialogue between land and water—the elements that form the term “country”. Fragments of text and song evoke the echoes and traces of a trauma of international proportions. The encounter between the ancient as related to the solid earth\, and the new as related to the liquid changes in a time of rapid globalization\, creates a third space of historical and cultural re-memory—what local inhabitants\, immigrants and veterans remember of yesterday’s stories to comment on today’s events. \n  \n  URL:/studentaffairs/event/forgetting-vietnam/ LOCATION:51 Student Union (UN)\, 2200 East 51.\, Milwaukee\, WI\, 53211\, United States CATEGORIES:Arts and Culture,Connect,Film/Screening,Public,Students ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:/studentaffairs/wp-content/uploads/sites/184/2026/04/vietnam.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="Union Cinema":MAILTO:cinema@uwm.edu X-TRIBE-STATUS: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260507T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260507T130000 DTSTAMP:20260418T140453 CREATED:20260409T200539Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260409T200539Z UID:10004401-1778151600-1778158800@uwm.edu SUMMARY:Self-Care Celebration DESCRIPTION:End your year with a celebration of self-care!

These were violent\, tragic events\, marked by the death of an elderly black woman\, Joy Gardner and a white policeman\, Keith Blakelock . Handsworth Songs takes as its point of departure these events and the inability of the British media to go beyond its concern with demonising or rationalising the rioters and their motives\, to break the anxiety-driven loop of morbid responses to the presence of black people in Britain.

Participants can bring items they no longer need to either properly dispose of or leave for others to take.
