Please join us for another Free Summer Film Screening with “The First Rainbow Coalition” on Tuesday, June 18, 2024, starting at 6pm with Food Trucks & Cash Bar, Screening at 7pm and a Director’s Talk & Q&A immediately following film. This will be in our Roy E. Disney Center for Performing Arts, Wells Fargo Auditorium and is a free community event, please let us know who will be attending below.

“The First Rainbow Coalition,” Directed & Produced by Ray Santisteban, charts the history and legacy of a groundbreaking multi-ethnic coalition that rocked Chicago in the 1960s. Comprised of activists from the Black Panthers, the Young Patriots (southern whites), and the Young Lords (a former Puerto Rican street gang), Chicago’s Rainbow Coalition (1969-1971) united poor Blacks, Whites, and Latinos to openly challenge police brutality and substandard housing in one of the most segregated cities in America.

Bridging past and present, “The First Rainbow Coalition” examines the legacy of the Rainbow Coalition, exploring how contemporary problems that displace the poor in urban areas, such as gentrification and the relationship between the police and poor and minority communities, are fundamentally linked to the defining issues around which the Rainbow Coalition was organized. A thought-provoking film that sparks new dialogue about the 1960s, “The First Rainbow Coalition” provides an unparalleled platform for contemporary discussions on race and class in an increasingly divided United States.
