Please join us in the Screening Room (Room 2160) at Shapiro Undergraduate Library for a special viewing of Patsy Mink: Ahead of the Majority from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm on January 20th.

This year's University of Michigan MLK Symposium champions agents of change exemplified in Shirley Chisholm's quote, “I Am, Was, and Always Will Be, a Catalyst for Change.” The award-winning documentary Patsy Mink: Ahead of the Majority celebrates Patsy Mink, the first woman of color to serve in Congress. A co-sponsor of Title IX legislation in 1972, Ms. Mink served approximately 20 years as the Hawaiian representative to Congress, speaking out on issues relating to the Vietnam War, freedom of speech, civil rights, and many other issues. Patsy Mink was a Catalyst for Change.
