Friday, February 12, 2010, 8:00 pm, $6
Dir. Kevin Epps in person

The Black Rock aka Black Alcatraz chronicles the role ofAfrican-Americans in the history of Alcatraz, the first super-maximumsecurity prison. The film identifies and examines the lives of a fewAfrican-American prisoners who were important figures in the history of“The Rock” from the 1930s to the 1960s. Some people believe that allcriminals are treated equally, and many are deceived by the notion thatall individuals receive equal treatment under the law. The Black Rockaka Black Alcatraz highlights the truth about the perseverance,sufferings, and resilience of African-Americans who experiencedAlcatraz during this time of racial prejudice and discrimination.Interviews with historians, archival footage, as well as photographsand re-enactments are used to present an entirely new perspective onthe most feared prison of its time. Dir. Kevin Epps (US 2009, 60m)

The Rhetorical Career of César Chávez
by John C. Hammerback & Richard J. Jensen
Synopsis:
Cesar Chavez urged the farm laborers of America to say "Yes, we can!" An indefatigable speaker, writer, and non-discursive communicator, Chavez developed a well-thought-out approach to his rhetorical discourse and placed his speaking and writing at the very center of his career. By merging thought and character in his themes, arguments, and explanations, he identified with the character of his listeners. Award-winning scholars John C. Hammerback and Richard J. Jensen offer a thorough examination of how Chavez developed his speeches and writings to further his agenda for union activism. They analyze his world view, the rhetorical approaches he took, and many of his own texts, showing that although born into one of the least powerful segments of American society, Chavez led the farm-labor movement to unprecedented heights.
