The Loyola Project

Presented By:

Join us for the Milwaukee premiere of the documentary film The Loyola Project. This free, community screening will include a talkback featuring Co-writer and Narrator Lucas Williamson, Director Patrick Creadon and local community leaders. A free popcorn and soda is included with your ticket!

In 1963, at the height of the civil rights movement, the Loyola Ramblers of Chicago broke racial barriers on their way to a national championship. Now, nearly 60 years later, this legendary team is reexamined by Loyola basketball player and co-captain, Lucas Williamson. Woven together with archival footage and modern day interviews, this captivating story is surprisingly relevant to today's continued struggle for equality.
