November 14, 2019 – Riverrun International Film Festival presents “The First Rainbow Coalition”
documentary in partnership with the PBS Indie Lens Pop-up Series at the Willingham Theater,
Yadkin Cultural Arts Center. The history and legacy of a groundbreaking multiethnic alliance of
community groups that changed the face of 1960s Chicago politics. In 1969, the Chicago Black
Panther Party began to form alliances across lines of race and ethnicity with other community-based

movements in the city, including the Latino group the Young Lords Organization and the southern
whites of the Young Patriots organization. Banding together in one of the most segregated cities in
postwar America to collectively confront issues such as police brutality and substandard housing,
they called themselves the Rainbow Coalition. By 1973, the coalition had collapsed under the weight
of relentless harassment by local and federal law enforcement. Although short-lived, it had an outsize
impact: Breaking down barriers between communities, it created a permanent shift in Chicago
politics and an organizing model for future activists and politicians across the nation. Time of the
Phoenix: The First Rainbow Coalition tells the movement’s little-known story through rare archival
footage and interviews with former coalition members. Documentary will begin at 7:00 p.m., no
charge to attend. Info: Yadkin Arts Council (336) 679-2941.
