SUMMARY:Donia Human Rights Center Annual Martin Luther King\, Jr. Lecture | Still Struggling to Cross That Bridge: Connecting the US and African Civil Rights Movements
DESCRIPTION:Hala Al-Karib is the Regional Director of the Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA) and is the Donia Human Rights Center’s inaugural Raoul Wallenberg Human Rights Practitioner Fellow.  In her lecture\, Ms. Al-Karib will reflect on her experiences advocating for human rights in the African context and how it mirrors the fight for civil rights in the United States.\n\nI grew up in the diminishing shadows of the African liberation movements. My childhood recollections were filled with long political debates among my parents\, their friends\, older cousins\, and uncles about memories of leaders like Biko of South Africa\, Senghor of Senegal\, Nkrumah of Ghana\, Nyerere of Tanzania\, Nasser of Egypt\, and Patrice Lumumba of the Congo.  Naturally\, this history has shaped my political consciousness.\nLater in my life\, I discovered that at the same time\, another liberation movement was unfolding across the Atlantic\, where young men and women of African descent were challenging a system that disregarded their humanity; they also vigorously strived for equality\, justice\, and human rights. In this conversation I am going to have with you\, I will seek to illustrate how the quest for liberation and decolonization in Africa parallels the civil rights movement in America; both movements are reflecting our extended struggle to cross over that bridge towards a peaceful and just society.\n\nThis is event is free and open to the public and is in-person only. For questions\, please reach out to umichhumanrights@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Wallace House Presents a Conversation with Caitlin Dickerson of The Atlantic
DESCRIPTION:DEPORTATION NATION: Chronicling Our Current Chapter in a Long History of Exclusion\nThe Trump administration’s deportation campaign is having a profound 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. \nIn 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.

SUMMARY:Marjorie Lee Browne Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Professor John Urschel\nClass of 1956 Career Development Assistant Professor of Mathematics\nMassachusetts Institute of Technology\n \nTitle: Matrices\, Moments\, and Quadrature\nAbstract:  More than a hundred years ago\, Chebyshev posed the following problem: “Given the length\, weight\, position of mass centre and moment of inertia of a material straight line with an unknown density… find the narrowest possible limits for the weight of any segment of the line.” This is one of the earliest examples of a moment problem\, the task of obtaining information about a measure from some sequence of its moments. In this talk\, we will explore the classical moment problems of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and how they laid the groundwork for the modern computational techniques in numerical analysis and numerical linear algebra.

SUMMARY:MLK and Militarism: Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:  \nMLK discussed the role of Militarism in American Culture during the 1960s. The question now at hand is have King’s views on Militarism remained the same for 2026?  Is Militarism as MLK defined it still as relevant today as the mid-1960’s?

SUMMARY:Brian Jones: Black History Is For Everyone
DESCRIPTION:Brian Jones\, senior director of reading and engagement at the New York Public Library\, talks about how the study of Black history challenges our understanding of race\, nation\, and the stories we tell about who we are. Attend in person or via Zoom (link to come). \nIn his 2025 book “Black History Is for Everyone\,” Jones offers a meditation on the power of Black history\, using his own experiences as a lifelong learner and classroom teacher to question everything—from the radicalism of the American Revolution to the meaning of “race” and “nation.” With warmth and immersive storytelling\, Jones encourages us to delve deeper into our collective history\, explores how curiosity about our world is essential—and reminds us that with stakes so high\, the effort is worth it. \nWe’re thrilled to welcome Brian Jones to campus as he challenges our assumptions and gives us glimpses of alternate futures. \nThis event is sponsored by U-M Library\, the Rackham Graduate School\, Michigan Housing\, the Bentley Historical Library\, and the School of Information as part of the annual U-M Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Symposium

SUMMARY:Department of Romance Languages and Literatures Invited MLK\, Jr. Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Title: Afro-Brazilian Political Activism and Representation \nSpeaker: Ollie Johnson\, Professor\, Department of African American Studies\, Wayne State University \nAbstract: This lecture explores the question of Black political activism and racial representation in Brazilian politics.  In the last 40 years\, affirmative action\, racial inequality\, and racial discrimination have entered the national political agenda.  Black activists have long demanded specific policies to improve the social\, economic\, and political situation of Afro-Brazilians. The implementation of affirmative action policies in higher education has emphasized the significance of race\, class\, and social inclusion.  Black politicians and leaders are often the most committed defenders of affirmative action and pro-racial equality policies. This lecture will focus on leading Black activists and organizations and their demands for social change. Afro-Brazilians are dramatically underrepresented among Brazil’s political elite. \nThis presentation will also examine the degree to which Black elected and appointed officials prioritize Afro-Brazilians in their work.  Which political parties and states of the country have produced more Afro-Brazilian government officials?  Workers’ Party/PT presidents Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rouseff have appointed more Black cabinet members than other presidents.  Despite advances in racial representation\, Afro-Brazilians remain in a fragile socio-economic and political situation.  Their concerns and welfare are not top priorities for Brazil’s most powerful and influential leaders. \nAttend in person in MLB 4314\, the RLL Commons.

SUMMARY:Black-on-Black Solidarity: Falasteen between George Jackson and Kwame Ture (An Anti-Curator’s Talk)
DESCRIPTION:How do revolutionary movements of the past challenge today’s trending rhetorics of solidarity? Inspired by George Jackson in the Sun of Palestine (2015\, West Bank) and Sur les Traces du Black Panther: Kwame Ture/Stokely Carmichael (2018\, Guinea)\, this presentation examines the contrast between revolutionary solidarity grounded in praxis and the contemporary commodification of solidarity as mere rhetoric. \nRevisiting the revolutionary theories of George Jackson and Kwame Ture\, it reframes Black internationalism and Black-Palestinian solidarity while addressing the erasure of Black Palestinians. By moving beyond liberal and neoliberal co-optations\, the discussion highlights how historical commitments to solidarity can inform and inspire resistance today. Correspondence between Jackson and Fatma Bernawi further illuminates the revolutionary principles that continue to resonate. \nGreg Thomas\, a native of Southeast Washington\, D.C.\, teaches Black Studies and Literature at Tufts and Howard Universities. He is the author of The Sexual Demon of Colonial Power and Hip-Hop Revolution in the Flesh and co-editor of Word Hustle: Critical Essays on Donald Goines. \nAs founding editor of PROUD FLESH: An e-Journal for the Critical Study of Black Culture\, Thomas has published extensively and guest-edited for CR: The New Centennial Review and Black Camera. Currently\, he is completing a book on George Jackson and curating exhibitions like George Jackson in the Sun of Palestine\, which debuted in the West Bank\, and A Black Panther Reawakens\, exploring revolutionary thought and activism. \nRSVP here: https://myumi.ch/pk46A

SUMMARY:Problematic Allies and the Limits of Visibility
DESCRIPTION:In the shift from the “white moderate” of the 1963 Letter from Birmingham Jail to the “white liberal” of the 1967 Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community? Dr. King signaled a critique of (purported) allyship. In the present\, political movements on the left are forced to contend with similar questions. Does a problematic ally count as an ally at all? With so much at stake in the present\, what\, if anything\, is worth sacrificing to solidarity? Cutting across decades of art history\, this talk examines a series of moments in which the question of problematic allyship has arisen for Black artists and image makers and for scholars who think and write about them (including myself). The particular tools of art history may come into play insofar as this problem intersects with issues of performance\, affect\, and visibility. But in an age of surveillance and repression\, should visibility have limits—and if so\, what might these questions teach us about how to do art history?

SUMMARY:RLL's 2025 MLK Jr. Lecture: Professor Uju Anya
DESCRIPTION:The invited speaker for RLL’s 2025 Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. lecture is Professor Uju Anya of Carnegie Mellon University. Professor Anya specializes in Black multilingualism and antiracist\, equity-minded approaches to language learning. Her primary fields of scholarship are applied linguistics\, sociolinguistics\, and critical discourse studies examining race\, gender\, sexual\, and social-class identities in the language learning of African American students. Her book\, Racialized identities in second language learning: Speaking blackness in Brazil\, won the 2019 American Association of Applied Linguistics First Book Award. Professor Anya’s lecture is entitled “Where are the Black students in Language Education? Critical Race Pedagogy for Social Justice in Language Education”. The lecture will take place on Monday\, February 3\, 2025\, from 4:00 – 5:30 pm\, in MLB 4314. \n\n\nTalk abstract: To address racial inequity and how the identities\, experiences\, and specific needs of Black students have been mostly ignored in language education\, we must reckon with social justice problems of racism and anti-Blackness in research\, school programs\, teacher training\, curriculum\, and instructional practices. This presentation explores how we can center Black students in language education and introduces a critical race pedagogy for language teaching to promote antiracism\, equity-mindedness\, and greater inclusivity and belonging for diverse types of marginalized populations.

SUMMARY:Physics Department Martin Luther King Colloquium | Justice in Science: Where We Stand at Times of Challenge and Controversy
DESCRIPTION:The title of my talk was inspired by Dr. King’s quote regarding “The ultimate measure of a man” [person]. It is not where one stands in moments of comfort and convenience but where one stands at times of challenge and controversy. \nI began college during the Civil Rights era\, at the height of Dr. King’s work to promote social justice. After a K-12 education in the segregated schools of Birmingham\, Alabama\, I chose to pursue a career in science. This choice was not only a personal decision or a patriotic act but\, in many ways\, an act of resistance. By following my interests\, I resisted the label that\, as a young Black woman\, I might be intellectually unfit to study science. \nEchoes of the past continue to swirl in today’s conversations about who can and cannot do science. This presentation will explore the meaning of “justice in science” and discuss positive changes that might open science to diversity and lived experiences that promote excellence. \nBackground: Shirley Malcom is Senior Advisor to the CEO and Director of the SEA Change initiative at American Association for the Advancement of Sciences (AAAS). She works to improve the quality and increase access to education and careers in STEM fields\, as well as to enhance public science literacy. Dr. Malcom is a trustee of Caltech and a regent of Morgan State University\, and a member of the SUNY Research Council. She is a former member of the National Science Board\, the policymaking body of the National Science Foundation\, and served on President Clinton’s Committee of Advisors on Science and Technology. Malcom\, a native of Birmingham\, Alabama\, received her Ph.D. in ecology from The Pennsylvania State University\, a master’s in zoology from UCLA\, and a bachelor’s with distinction in zoology from the University of Washington. She holds 16 honorary degrees.
