WISCONSIN IN BLACK & WHITE
“History can help us understand why we are where we are.”
A partnership project of PBS Wisconsin and the Madison-based Nehemiah Center for Urban Leadership Development.
Wisconsin in Black & White pairs the historical context of racism with contemporary examples of Wisconsinites putting their knowledge into action to create change.
External advisory committee members Angela Russell and Dr. David Hart guided producers on an accurate and effective presentation of the topics. Intentional community engagement in collaboration with Nehemiah extended the reach of the project beyond the screen.
As a lifelong viewer and proud Wisconsinite, I’m grateful your organization has aired the documentary Wisconsin in Black & White. In times of division and political strife, it would be a lot easier to leave these important conversations on the margins. Partnering with the Nehemiah Center to create a film that, I believe, can foster further conversation, is brave and appreciated.
