Dream BIG Dreams: Film Screening & Discussion

4/13/2015

 
Picture
When Vel Phillips was a young girl her mother always told her,
“If you really want it, don’t dream small dreams, dream BIG dreams.”
In February 2015, the story of one remarkable woman and the struggles she undertook 
to build a better community was shared for the first time.  
Now MUCC & Active McFarland would like to invite you 
Thursday April 30, at 7pm  
to discover the story of Vel Phillips — pioneer, activist, humanitarian, diplomat — 
in a brand new documentary from Wisconsin Public Television, in collaboration with Milwaukee Public Television.  Learn how Vel Phillips rose to prominence as one of Wisconsin's great civil rights activists, achieving an impressive list of "firsts" as part of her legacy, including: 
the first African American judge in Wisconsin and 
the first woman, and African American, in the nation 
elected to executive office in state government.

More Than A Documentary

Vel Phillips: Dream Big Dreams is a statewide engagement project that brings communities together for film screenings and conversations about equality and civil rights in the 21st century.

We are pleased to be the location for one of these community viewing and discussion events! 


Those who attend will have the opportunity to watch the documentary 

AND participate in a panel discussion afterward.  Panelists include:

Robert Trondson the producer/director of "Vel Phillips: Dream Big Dreams".

Dr. Chandra Waring, Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.

Barbara McKinney, Associate Director of the Madison area Urban Ministry.
