When heavily armed campus police broke into the University of Florida
campus apartment of disabled and unarmed Ghanaian doctoral student
Kofi Adu-Brempong, and within a minute of entry shot him in the face,
his life was forever changed. Yet the officer who shot him, who had
previously been caught cruising through town throwing eggs at
residents of a Black neighborhood, was neither suspended nor fired.
This documentary is about the ongoing pattern of police brutality
against Blacks and the dangers of over militarized campuses. It is
about student protests that led to the administration dropping charges
against Kofi and about continuing student efforts to revoke SWAT-like
teams on campus and to establish police review boards.

The Making of La Casita is a documentary film produced by the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program and funded by the UF Office of the Provost. Discussing the origins of the Institute of Hispanic-Latino Cultures at UF (known as “La Casita”) the film chronicles the history of Latinx students and faculty at the University of Florida.
This film draws on oral history interviews conducted by students, staff and volunteers at the Proctor Program to explore the historical and political complexity of identifying as Latina/o as well as the diversity within the Latinx population. The film’s narrators discuss the need to cultivate one’s own Latinx identity in higher education through exposure to a rigorous academic program of ethnic studies.
The Making of La Casita recounts the many ways students, faculty and past directors have worked to make La Casita an enduring space for education, advocacy, community, and academic excellence.
The Samuel Proctor Oral History Program is thrilled to present The Making of the Institute of Black Culture (IBC) and The Making of La Casita. These documentaries were produced with generous funding by the UF Office of the Provost.
Provost funds also made possible a university seminar titled “A Black and Latinx History of the Gator Nation,” taught by Dr. Ryan Morini, Juliette Barbera, and Juanita Duque and sponsored by the African American Studies Program.

These interviews began with a collaboration between Dr. Paul Ortiz, Dr. Eric Castillo, and Nathalia Hernandez Ochoa, and continued through the efforts of Génesis Lara and the 2014-2015 LDAP class. The current film builds on these prior efforts through the work of Juliette Barbera, Juanita Duque, Aliya Miranda, and many other students and recent graduates.

The Florida Wildlife Corridor promotes the vision of an ecologically-connected network of public and private conservation lands eventually created throughout Florida, which was conceived of by Carlton Ward from LINC and developed in collaboration with Tom Hoctor. The Florida Wildlife Corridor project was developed to educate and advocate for the protection of the Florida Ecological Greenways Network, and specifically the Critical Linkages from south Florida to Georgia, though the other Critical Linkages from west-central Florida through the Florida panhandle might be added to these efforts in the future.
