ASUO President Jay Breslow
said naming the conference after
Coleman is just one way to show
appreciation for what he has put
into this University.
“Dr. Coleman has a wisdom that
any student can learn from
through the struggles he faced,”
Breslow said.
Breslow suggested students at
tend Coleman’s occasional jazz
shows at Jo Federigo’s Restaurant
and Jazz Club or enroll in his
African American Drama class to
get a glimpse into Coleman’s life
and perspective. Breslow added
that students can learn from other
local heroes who have also faced
diversity issues throughout their
lives.
There is something for everyone
at this conference, Majekobaje
said, from an affirmative action de
bate and an AIDS awareness re
ception, to Holocaust readings and
an Earth Day celebration. During
the “Zero Awards,” which will
take place Wednesday afternoon
in the EMU Amphitheater, the
MCC will recognize the depart
ments at the University that have
no faculty of color.

Keynote speakers Amiri Baraka,
a playwright and political activist,
and Elaine Brown, an author and
the only woman ever to lead the
Black Panther Party, will both
speak Friday at 7 p.m. in 150 Co
lumbia.
The speakers will “offer histo

said. “They put activism in con
text as it relates to their individual
area of expertise.”
Fuller said a series of work
shops Saturday will address con
cepts such as “internal racism, ac
tivism and white privilege.”
As part of the Jewish holiday
known as Yom Hashoah — Holo
caust Remembrance Day — mem
bers of the Jewish Student Union
and other volunteers will spend
Wednesday and Thursday paying
tribute to those who died in the
Holocaust. For 24 hours in the am
phitheater, they will read through
a list of Holocaust victims.
“In Jewish tradition, it is impor
tant to remember individuals in
your life who have died,” JSU Pro
gram Director Jessica Elkan said.
“This is the way we do it for the
people who died in the Holo
caust.”

Conference, contact the MCC in

The conference aims to address
issues that students don’t always
learn about in their daily lives,
Coleman said. Coleman said the
conversation with his friend is just
one example of the fact that people
don’t have enough contact with
one another.
“We sit on the bus together,
watch soaps and MTV — but that’s
the limit. We just don’t know one
another,” he said. “We don’t know
how to deal with each other.”
