Film Screenings: “The Exchange in White America: Kaukauna & King 50 Years Later”
Big city kids in a small town…small town White kids in Black neighborhoods. The documentary film is a story of an exchange of Black and White high schools in Wisconsin. The schools are Rufus King High School in Milwaukee and Kaukauna High School in the Fox River Valley. This exchange happened in 1966…right in the middle of the Civil Rights Movement. The participants lived in each other’s homes, attended classes in each other’s’ schools and performed the groundbreaking play “In White America” in both cities. This was the first time some of the Kaukauna students had ever seen Black people in person. This was the first time the Black and White students from Milwaukee had ever lived in a small, all-white town in Central Wisconsin.

“The Exchange in White America: Kaukauna & King 50 Years Later”- Luncheon with Joanne Williams, Film Director and Producer
One Sunday in early 2016, journalist, Joanne Williams was sorting through boxes in her garage and found a box marked “high school stuff.” The box held only things she would consider treasures. Amongst them was a copy of her high school newspaper, The King’s Page, with the headline “King is host to Kaukauna.” The award-winning journalist knew she had a story. Black kids living with White kids. White kids living with Black families…in 1966…in Wisconsin. Over lunch, Williams will share about how she got into the documentary film industry, her reflection on her journey with the making of the documentary film, “The Exchange in White America: Kaukauna & King 50 Year Later” and how new conversations can improve race relations through the arts, empathy and optimism.
