Keeping in Mind: The McCarthy Era at the University of Michigan
In the 1950s, the University of Michigan caved to political intimidation when President Harlan Hatcher fired three faculty members who refused to cooperate with Senator McCarthy’s red-baiting Committee on “Un-American Activities.” As another tyrannical government takes aim at universities, join us for a screening of Keeping in Mind, a 1988 documentary featuring interviews with Hatcher and the three men he sacrificed to political expediency: Chandler Davis, Clement Markert, and Mark Nickerson. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with the film creator Adam Kulakow, civil rights historian Matthew Countryman, and anthropologist Gayle Rubin.
All students, faculty, staff, and non-U of M community members are welcome and encouraged to attend. Closed Captioning will be displayed for the film. CART captioning will be available for the panel discussion, and an ASL interpreter will be present for the panel discussion.
