Jay Rosenstein, Professor Emeritus and Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker, spoke about the creation and legacy of his documentary, “In Whose Honor?,” at the University YMCA Friday.

The talk was a part of the University YMCA’s Friday Forum + Conversation Café, a weekly forum in which members of the public are invited to learn about and discuss a selected issue.

Released in 1997, “In Whose Honor?” explores the harms of using Native mascots in sports, focusing on the University of Illinois’ Chief Illiniwek. The film highlights the experiences of Charlene Teters, a Native American artist and former graduate student at the University, in her efforts to protest Chief Illiniwek.
