Join us for a screening of Precious Knowledge with panel discussion and 
student performances!

This film focuses on the journey of high school seniors in Tuscon, AZ as 
they fight relentlessly to maintain the Ethnic Studies program that 
state lawmakers attempt to and ultimately eliminate. Despite the 
overwhelming academic success that students of the Ethnic Studies 
program yield, key representatives in the state legislature believe that 
the program teaches victimization, racism, and sedition. Key themes of 
the film include social justice, critical pedagogy, and civil rights.

Throughout the evening there will be performances from the student group 
People of Color Telling Testimonios.

After the film, a panel of students, faculty, and staff will facilitate 
a discussion about the film themes and how they affect us all.

Dinner will be provided.

Event sponsored by and in collaboration with: Lebrón-Wiggins-Pran 
Cultural Center, PopDev, Critical Studies of Childhood, Youth, and 
Learning Program, Dakin House, Prescott House, People of Color Telling 
Testimonios, Decolonized Media Collective, In Solidarity With 
Immigrants, RAICES, DiG, and members of the SOURCE community.
