Town Hall Meeting, hosted by ASC,DAAS, and LACS
Kelly Askew, Director, ASC, Professor of Anthropology/ African Studies; Frieda Ekotto, Chair, DAAS, Professor of Comparative Literature/ African Studies; Victoria Langland, Director, LACS, Associate Professor of History
As a collective effort, this town hall meeting aims to engage the University of Michigan community in reflecting on the recent discourse surrounding Africa, Haiti, Latin America and the African diaspora. What are some challenges that must be addressed if we are to move toward Dr. Martin Luther King's "beloved community"? How do we build a stronger sense of inclusivity? How do we engage with those who hold and proclaim vastly differing viewpoints?
The meeting is an opportunity to not only respond to prejudicial perspectives, but to take steps towards finding solutions to the problem of misinformation. Come join us for a respectful dialogue in the spirit of "Umoja" (unity)."
