Date: Thursday, Jan. 23, 2014
Time: 5-6 pm
Venue: Asian Culture Center, 807 E. 10th Street
With
special guests Professor Lichtenstein, Associate Professor in the Department of
History, and Professor Grim, Chair of the African American and African Diaspora
Studies Department.
Description: Professor Lichtenstein
will discuss the myths that have developed around these two great leaders, and
suggest how these myths disguise some of the more challenging aspects of their
struggles for freedom and justice. Professor Grim will discuss how common
understandings about various forms of suffering can lead to the creation of
ideas concerning pathways that make possible moral and spiritual awakenings
that provide opportunities for the oppressed and the oppressors to collectively
build capacity for change. Her conversation seeks to address what is real and
what is imagined as an ideal strategy among those laboring to move human
progress and humanity forward in efforts to complete work that is still
unfinished. A short Q&A will follow.
