Event Name: Black Film Series Event Locator: 2025-AATAZQ 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 Harriet. The film explores resistance led by Black women, echoing Carter Jackson’s framing of Black women’s central role in historical rebellion. 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.

Event State: Confirmed Organization: Arts & Ideas Event Name: Art Reception Event Locator: 2025-AATANJ This will be an art reception for Paul Mitchell. Paul Mitchell is an art professor and digital artist living in Illinois. This exhibit selection is from a body of work reflecting his interest in climate change beginning in 2006 with the publication of An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore. This led to the realization that climate change was connected to global warming, ocean acidification, wildlife extinction, and massive migration of life on the planet. Most recently, his focus has been on mitigation of the problems and suffering caused by climate change. The works are meant to work together supporting a context of healing our planet. The exhibit will be on view October 2-26, 2025.
