MLK: Speaker says holiday
should be for all Americans
Continued from page 1
encouraged people to take action to
fulfill their purpose, advising attendees
to “find out who you are, find out what
defines you, and then act accordingly.”
“That mentality of grumbling over
the circumstances that we’re facing
needs to die,” Mainor said. “We can
either complain or we can act.”
African Student Association Direc
tor Haben Woldu also addressed the
group and urged participants to con
sider Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a
holiday for all Americans, not just
blacks. “There’s a great turnout this
year, but in the past we’ve never had
this many people show up,” she said.
Black Student Union co-Director
Ttemaine Thompson agreed.
“We’ve been getting more and
more people,” in the past four years,
Thompson said.
Thompson, who started planning
the event in October, said he thinks
people are getting more involved in
diversity issues.
Afterward, the attendees partici
pated in a candlelight vigil, walking
around the EMU singing “We Shall
Overcome” and then gathering in
the EMU Amphitheater.
“It’s an ongoing struggle,”
Thompson said. “What (King) envi
sioned was more than just a race
thing. It was a unity thing. His reli
gion let him believe that we all
should get along and everything
should be equal.”

Diversity: Number of minority
students with disabilities also low
Continued from page 1
we can adjourn whenever we’re all
talked out.”
Timothy McMahon, who works
with the Teaching Effectiveness Pro
gram, attended the meeting and said
few people attended because Vincent
has hosted similar meetings before.
Steve Pickett, director of Disability
Services, said in the meeting that the
University lags in the number of mi
nority students who are disabled.
“We don’t see that many minority
students with disabilities,” he
said. “They’re dealing with a
double stigma.”
Pickett added that this “double stig
ma” often makes parents hesitant to
send their children to the University.
Later in the meeting, McMahon
said that tokenization is still a prob
lem for minority students on campus.
He said he’s heard complaints of
professors singling out students
based solely on their race.
“We still have professors asking
‘What do African-Americans think
about the war in Iraq?’” he said.
Vincent said the preliminary set of
recommendations will be completed
by the end of the term so that facul
ty, students and community mem
bers will have the opportunity to re
view and comment on them in the
spring. He added that the recommen
dations will be finalized by the end of
spring term and ready for implemen
tation in fall term 2005.
“We’ll have it done by the end of
spring quarter,” he said. “You can
count on it.”
The last “Community Conversa
tion” will be held Wednesday, Jan. 26
from 4 to 6:30 p.m. in the EMU
Walnut Room.
