SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Impressions in Pastel
DESCRIPTION:Sharon Will’s commitment to painting is to capture the simple\, everyday beauty around her in her native Michigan and beyond. She is passionate about painting plein air (outdoors) whenever possible\, as she feels the direct observation from life is the best teacher to truly see the subtleties of light and color in nature.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Fighting for Our Rights: Three Young Women Facing Southern Racism in the 1960s
DESCRIPTION:In the 1960s\, when the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) was on the front line of the civil rights movement in the South\, Bettie Mae Fikes\, Marilyn Lowen\, and Martha P. Noonan were there\, too. \n\nThey will share their experiences at “Fighting for Our Rights: Three Young Women Facing Southern Racism in the 1960s.” This 2019 Martin Luther King Jr. Day Symposium is presented by the Department of History\, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS)\, and Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, with additional support from the Kalt Fund for African American and African History.\n\nBettie Mae Fikes was born in Selma\, Alabama\, and began singing gospel alongside her mother at age four. At sixteen she became a student leader for SNCC\, eventually performing with the SNCC Freedom Singers. She was jailed for several weeks in 1963 for protesting during the voting rights struggle in Selma. Ms. Fikes has graced the stages of Carnegie Hall\, the Newport Jazz Festival\, and the Library of Congress\, as well as performing for Democratic National Conventions in 1964 and 2004. She has performed with Joe Turner\, Lightnin’ Hopkins\, Albert King\, James Brown\, Bob Dylan\, and Mavis Staples\, among others. \n\nMarilyn Lowen is a poet\, writer\, teacher and lifelong human rights worker. Born in Detroit in 1944\, she began protesting racial injustice at eight years old. In high school she picketed Woolworth’s in downtown Detroit in solidarity with SNCC sit-ins in 1960-1961. At Bennington College she started a civil rights group to support SNCC and the Northern Student Movement.  She left school to work full time in the movement\, first with NSM in Harlem\, next in SNCC’s Atlanta photo department\, then moving to Tougaloo\, Mississippi\, to continue working with SNCC and the Child Development Group of Mississippi.  She relocated to New York City in 1968\, finishing her undergraduate and master's degrees\, and teaching in the city’s public schools at all levels.\n\nMartha Prescod Norman Noonan became involved in Students for a Democratic Society and SNCC while an undergraduate at the University of Michigan in the 1960s. Born and raised in Providence\, Rhode Island\, Noonan’s family moved to Detroit after she graduated from high school. An undergraduate history major at the University of Michigan\, she earned a master’s degree in history from Wayne State University and for over two years pursued a PhD in history at U-M until a series of family emergencies interrupted her studies. Ms. Noonan coedited Hands on the Freedom Plow: Personal Accounts by Women in SNCC (University of Illinois Press\, 2012).\n\n\nPresented by the Afroamerican and African Studies\, History\, and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Fights about Language and Political Correctness: What’s At Stake?
DESCRIPTION:Debates abound about pronouns on class rosters\, the name of the Washington Redskins\, the reclamation of the word “queer\,” trigger warnings\, the connotations of “lady” versus “woman\,” the choice of “black” or “Black” or “African American\,” and telling someone to “check their privilege\,” just to name a few. \n\nWho has the right to tell others how they should and shouldn’t use language—and when? Do “superficial” changes in the language we use really matter? What’s at stake in debates about language?  \n\nEfforts to render language more respectful and inclusive of all persons are sometimes perceived as policing other people’s language\, and “politically correct” is no longer a neutral term (if it ever really was). In this workshop\, Professor Anne Curzan and Professor Robin Queen discuss the merits and the criticisms of “politically correct” language\, drawing from specific cases that have received national attention as well as significant attention on the University of Michigan campus.

SUMMARY:Other:Y(our) Story: unraveling biases
DESCRIPTION:This year's MLK Symposium theme\, “unravel”\, reflects the challenge of disentangling or revealing both personal and institutional –isms (racism\, classism\, sexism\, ableism…).

What process did you use? What made you willing to be vulnerable in exposing a personal bias?\n\n * Tell us of an instance where self-awareness of your own bias equipped you to respond to institutional bias. How did you respond?\n\nThis is an opportunity to tell your story\, among supportive listeners\, because your stories matter!

SUMMARY:Performance:MLK 2019: Unraveling Oedipus
DESCRIPTION:Unraveling Oedipus\n \nSophocles' play\, the Oedipus Tyrannus\, tells the story of Oedipus' discovery of his identity as the killer of his father and the husband of his mother. As a dramatization of this process of self-discovery\, the play shows how an individual goes through a process of unravelling as he realizes that his assumptions about others are unfounded and becomes aware of who he really is as well as the harm that he has caused others. \n \nThis event will feature a dramatic reading of excerpts from the play performed by the Black and Brown Community Theater of Detroit. There will also be ample opportunity for discussion of the relation of the play to the theme of this year's MLK Day\, namely unravelling our biases and identities in ways that allow us to create a more just and inclusive community. A reception will follow. All members of the university community and the general public are warmly invited to attend. \n \n \nBlack and Brown Theater’s: Classics in Color Series\n \nPlayers: \nBreon Canady \nAshley Kay Evans \nDan Johnson \nDinah Tutein

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Marjorie Lee Browne Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nOne can only imagine what it was like for Marjorie Lee Browne as she pursued her PhD at the University of Michigan in 1950. As the first African-American woman to come through the doctoral program in Mathematics at U of M\, she would have had to navigate and clear her own unique path to take her place at the table. Forty-five years later\, the speaker earned a PhD from the same department and acknowledges that Dr. Browne’s achievements made space for her success.\n\nThis talk will give an overview of the speaker’s my professional life with a highlight on her work in building partnerships between universities and industry. She will also talk about the efforts to ensure that a more diverse generation of young people with a diverse range of interests take their rightful place in mathematics communities\, and that there is welcoming space for them. A reception for the speaker will be held in the Mathematics Atrium immediately following the talk.
