For its ^6th edition, the University of Montpellier is actively participating in the National Week of Education and Action against Racism and Anti-Semitism, which takes place throughout France from March 20 to 26, 2023. This participation is part of the UM's commitment to fighting all forms of discrimination and promoting the values on which the Republic is founded: liberty, equality and fraternity.

Spike Lee's "BlacKkKlansman" is an extremely effective denunciation of racism, in the form of comedy and derision.

Synopsis:

In the early '70s, at the height of the civil rights struggle, several race riots broke out in major U.S. cities. Ron Stallworth became the first Black American officer in the Colorado Springs Police Department, but his arrival was greeted with skepticism, if not outright hostility, by the station's lower-ranking officers. Taking his courage in both hands, Stallworth sets out to shake things up and, perhaps, leave his mark on history. He sets himself the most perilous mission of all: to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan and expose its abuses.
