SUMMARY:"Just Like Me: The Vietnam War/The American War" Film Screening

Please click here to reserve your seat. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Distinguished Lecture Series: An Army Afire
DESCRIPTION:Beth Bailey of the University of Kansas will lecture on her book\, “An Army Afire: How the U.S. Army Confronted Its Racial Crisis in the Vietnam Era” \nThursday\, April 4th at 4:00 pm Pyle Center Room 232 on the UW-Madison Campus \nEven as US troops fought in Vietnam\, Black and white soldiers battled each other in barracks and bars\, with violence spilling into the streets of towns and cities in the United States and around the world. By the late 1960s\, key Army leaders had begun to worry that racial conflict undermined the Army’s ability to defend the nation. In their attempts to solve “the problem of race\,” Army leaders were surprisingly creative\, even willing to challenge military principles of discipline\, order\, hierarchy\, and authority. Confronting what some saw as an existential threat\, the fundamentally conservative institution of the US Army took strikingly progressive actions\, though in service of a conservative goal. \nThis lecture is presented by the Wisconsin Veterans Museum and the Department of History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

SUMMARY:MOVIE NIGHT: APOCALYPSE NOW
DESCRIPTION:Grab some popcorn and a seat in your favorite chair\, and join us for a Movie Night and Virtual Discussion with the Wisconsin Veterans Museum Staff. While we can’t all be together\, we can share discussion on major motion pictures that deal with the hardships\, humor\, and horrors of combat. For this virtual discussion\, we will look at the 1979 film Apocalypse Now\, starring Martin Sheen\, Marlin Brando\, Robert Duvall\, and Laurence Fishburne. In this gripping and often surreal Vietnam War tale\, an Army Captain is sent upriver to terminate the command of a once-revered Colonel. This event may not be suitable for younger audiences as this film contains graphic war violence\, language\, and is of a mature subject matter.  \nYour mission is to watch the movie\, which is available from most libraries or on streaming services\, while thinking about the discussion questions we will provide you. On October 30th\, at 7:00 pm we’ll all meet via Zoom for a discussion led by museum staff. We will cover themes such as conflict\, politics\, pop culture\, the military\, and movie-making.  \nAfter you register\, we will email you the discussion questions and a link to join the virtual discussion via Zoom. This event is free and open to the public. \nREGISTER \nSponsored by the Wisconsin Veterans Museum Foundation
