SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:DEPORTATION NATION: Chronicling Our Current Chapter in America's Long History of Exclusion
DESCRIPTION:The Trump administration’s deportation campaign is having a major impact on American institutions\, from local governments and businesses to churches and schools\, and has helped to cement immigration enforcement as one of the key civil rights issues of our time. But the system through which these mass deportations are being carried out has been in place for decades\, and many of the issues drawing headlines — from overcrowded detention centers\, to family separations\, and deportations without due process — are nothing new. In this conversation\, Dickerson will debunk common misconceptions about how the American immigration system works and how it doesn’t. She will also discuss the United States’ complex history with immigrants\, which includes a deeply ingrained\, race-based fear that\, for centuries\, has been directed toward virtually every group of American immigrants\, fuelling moments of intense backlash like the one we are in now.\n\nAbout the speaker:\nCaitlin Dickerson has been a staff writer at The Atlantic since 2021. In 2023\, she won the Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting and the Livingston Award for National Reporting for “We Need to Take Away Children\,” an indepth examination of the U.S. government’s child separation policy during the first Trump adminstation. Before joining The Atlantic\, Dickerson spent five years as a reporter for The New York Times\, and five years as a producer and reporter for NPR. Her investigative reporting and long-form feature writing have also been recognized with a Peabody\, an Edward R. Murrow award\, and two National Association of Black Journalists Salute to Excellence awards.\n\nAbout the moderator:\nLynette Clemetson is the Charles R. Eisendrath Director of Wallace House Center for Journalists\, home of the Knight-Wallace Fellowships for Journalists and the Livingston Awards for Young Journalists at the University of Michigan.\n\nReception follwoing dicussion.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:MLK Day Film Screening: Afro.Deutschland (2017)
DESCRIPTION:In observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day\, the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures invites the University of Michigan community to a screening of Afro.Deutschland (2017)\, a documentary that explores Black German experiences of identity\, belonging\, and resilience across history.\n\nThrough powerful personal narratives\, the film highlights stories of exclusion and racism alongside accounts of empowerment and achievement. Featuring voices ranging from Nazi-era survivor Theodor Wonja Michael to contemporary figures such as rapper Samy Deluxe\, Afro.Deutschland interrogates the persistent question “Where are you from?” and examines Germany’s colonial past and its ongoing impact on identity. These experiences resonate with the struggles of Black Americans and echo the civil rights legacy that Martin Luther King Jr. worked to bring to the forefront of American consciousness.\n\nThe screening offers an opportunity for reflection on global Black histories and the transnational dimensions of civil rights\, race\, and belonging.\n\nEvent Details\nDate: Tuesday\, January 20\, 2026\nTime: 5:00–6:30 PM\nLocation: North Quad 2435\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.
