Will you see the new "Lone Ranger" movie? How will you discuss Johnny Depp's portrayal in class? How can you represent the viewpoint of members of the Crow nation about his depiction? Here's Dalya's presentation plus her power point! Please feel free to contact me with any questions; also please let me know if you watch the entire presentation. I'd like to send you a certificate of recognition! https://tegr.it/y/fbci Our friend Professor Solomon Comissiong challenged, enlightened and illuminated us with his depth of knowledge about Hip Hop, African and African American studies, the commercialization and commidification of the media, and how all of the above has impacted our knowledge of world events. If you were not able to make his lecture on Wednesday, please check out this link (or watch the Tegrity recording below): https://tegr.it/y/ft1p We'll be in 26-101 from 3-5 pm! See you there!

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Education, Day of Service, and Celebration “I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and freedom for their spirits. I believe that what self-centered men have torn down, men other-centered can build up.” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. December 10, 1964 http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/1964/king-acceptance.html Education week: January 9-13, 2012 “Educate, Empower, & Inspire Yourself and Others” Each day this week a series of workshops/forums will be held. · “The People Speak” screening: this film, based on Howard Zinn’s classic book A People’s History of the United States, celebrates the voices of people in the US who challenged the status quo in order to achieve greater justice and equity. · Break down what you know or want to know about Martin Luther King, Jr.’s life beyond his “I have a dream” speech. · Compare messages from Tupac Shakur’s music to the messages Dr. King was communicating through the civil rights movement. · Develop skills to become an ally and advocate within your community for social justice issues, and to form coalitions among many groups. · Learn about the other people involved with the civil rights movement and the role they played. · A “sit-in” style luncheon on the last day – Where do we go from here?
