The Social Justice LLC has to take History 150, Multicultural America, to be in the LLC. As an assignment for the class, students have to attend at least four Social Justice related events on campus or around the Milwaukee community. UWM Student Involvement and the LGBT+ Resource Center hold many events relating to Social Justice and inclusivity. One event that I know many students may be going to is put on by the LGBT Resource Center is Intersex Stories, Not Surgeries talk by Pidgeon Pagonis. This can be related to being open to all people and cultures, no matter any circumstance. Other events students have gone too for the assignment were the screening of Malcolm X in the Union Cinema and the Confronting Mass Incarceration panel. They can also watch movies for the assignment, therefore a couple students have watched 12 Years a Slave and have really liked it!
Some of the Social Justice LLC students also took part in the viewing of all the films within the LGBT+ Film Festival. The students that I have talked to about the films said that they were very well put together. Also that even though they’re movies, they’re still very informative.
The students in the LLC have seemed to really become interested in Multicultural History throughout this class. It looks like more and more students are becoming interested in the material being presented in class. As we talk more about other cultures that most students did not realize that were mistreated by Americans.
