Saginaw Valley State University will show the War of the Flea documentary on Wednesday, October 19, 2022 at 7:00pm at the Malcolm Field Theater Performance Arts Center. This has been a long awaited showing for many.
War of the Flea is a real-life David v. Goliath story of Xicano students at Michigan State University. The documentary examines how they forced a major university to establish a Xicano/Latino Studies program despite their small numbers and how an increasingly marginalized Xicano/Latino community was barraged by attack after attack from the white power structure.
Ernesto Mireles is a Professor of Social Justice Studies at Prescott College, author of the award winning book Insurgent Aztlan, a strategy coach for organizers, and creator of The Reality Dysfunction Podcast.
