Join us for pizza, popcorn, and a special screening of Judas and the Black Messiah — the powerful story of Fred Hampton, leader of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party, and the betrayal that led to his assassination. This 2021 film – starring Daniel Kaluuya and LaKeith Stanfield – brings to life Hampton’s fight for justice, unity, and equality, and the official efforts to silence him. It’s a story of courage, conviction, and the price of resistance. The event will open with a brief introduction to Hampton’s life and work, highlighting his leadership, vision, and lasting impact on movements for social justice. This event is free and open to the Wilkes community.
