Co-Curricular SubstitutionsWhile part of the intent behind the ARTE and co-curricular requirements in the Integrations Curriculum was to showcase our own campus events, circumstances this year have necessitated supplementing campus events with substitutions. The following is a short list of material available online that would satisfy co-curricular requirements built into the CSD:I courses.TitleDescriptionDocumentaries to satisfy the Race/Ethnicity co-curricular requirementWhose Streets? - An Unflinching Look at the Ferguson UprisingTold by the activists and leaders who live and breathe this movement for?justice, WHOSE STREETS? is an unflinching look at the Ferguson uprising.

Empowered parents, artists, and teachers from around the country come together as freedom fighters.Jim Crow of the NorthRoots of racial disparities are seen through a new lens in this film that explores the origins of housing segregation in the Minneapolis area. But the story also illustrates how African-American families and leaders resisted this insidious practice, and how Black people built community — within and despite — the red lines that these restrictive covenants created.13thCombining archival footage with testimony from activists and scholars, director Ava DuVernay's examination of the U.S. prison system looks at how the country's history of racial inequality drives the high rate of incarceration in America.Currently available to stream for free on Netflix.From Flint: Voices of a Poisoned City - Investigating the Michigan Water CrisisFROM FLINT goes beyond the news headlines to spotlight the impact of the devastating water contamination crisis on the people of Flint, Michigan.

In his travels, he's collected robes and other artifacts from friends affiliated with the Klan, building a collection piece by piece, story by story, and person by person in hopes of eventually opening a "Museum of the Klan", a testimony to what knowledge and respectful, personal communication can accomplish. In ACCIDENTAL COURTESY, Daryl's journey takes him to across the country, from old friends who have left the Klan, to friends still active in the organization, including a current Imperial Wizard of the KKK.Abrazos - Children of Undocumented ParentsABRAZOS tells the transformational journey of a group of U.S. Citizen Children, sons and daughters of undocumented immigrants, who travel from Minnesota to Guatemala to meet their grandparents -and in some instances their siblings - for the first time.

IT'S CRIMINAL highlights the wide economic and social inequality that divides the United States and offers a unique window into how two groups of women break down barriers and learn to speak to each other.The Urgency of IntersectionalityNow more than ever, it's important to look boldly at the reality of race and gender bias -- and understand how the two can combine to create even more harm. Kimberlé Crenshaw uses the term "intersectionality" to describe this phenomenon; as she says, if you're standing in the path of multiple forms of exclusion, you're likely to get hit by both. In this moving talk, she calls on us to bear witness to this reality and speak up for victims of prejudice. ................
