Yours for Justice: The Continued Relevance of Ida B. Wells' Diagnosis of Domestic Racial Terror  

Professor Jane Anna Gordon of the University of Connecticut Department Of Political Science 

Everyone who has heard of Ida B. Wells is familiar with her as an anti-lynching crusader. What was crucial about her work was that it framed the rise of lynching in the early 20th century as entirely a function of hostility to the end of slavery and the growth of the project of black freedom. Professor Jane Anna Gordon will speak about Wells’ work and how her framing of anti-black violence as domestic terror forces us to consider why such actions are, to this day, not considered and treated as treasonous.

Presented by The Department of Africana Studies & The Women’s And Gender Studies Program

“What fools these mortals be!” 

Lehman's Theatre and Dance Program will stage a production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night's Dream, an iconic comedy of love both sought and unsought, where the mortal and supernatural collide, combine, and connect for amorous adventures.

This multimedia production features a cast of nine performers in over 20 different roles. The production focuses on the notion of dreams and transformation of characters as they move from the worlds of working class craftspeople, a Duke and Duchess's court that is rooted in Greek and Amazonian mythology, and the world of the “Fairies” whose very existence is both magical and fantastical.

The audience will get to see what usually takes place behind the scenes. The actors, who have been preparing for the past three months, take on multiple roles and have been working in the physical performance training style of Jacques Lecoq. Through movement and voice transformations, audiences will see the “translation” of one character to the next in real time. In the Elizabethan vein our actors not only transform characters, but gender roles and examine the very nature of what we call “male” and “female,” as we see that love truly is in the eye (and imagination) of the beholder.

This production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream welcomes the audience into a theatrical dreamscape that embraces the magic of what live theatre does best: letting us enter a world that has its own rules and realities like dreams; like love itself.

All students, faculty and staff are enthusiastically invited to an event in the Social Justice Speakers Series. 

When They Saw Them: The New York Press Corps, Racism and the Central Park Five

Yusef Salaam, one of the men exonerated in the Central Park Five case, will be in conversation with Jim Dwyer, Pulitzer prize-winning New York Times columnist and author of Actual Innocence: When Justice Goes Wrong and How to Make It Right. They'll reflect on the Netflix series When They See Us, discuss racism and the news and entertainment media, consider how true stories are told and twisted and take student questions on a wide variety of topics. 

The event is sponsored by the Social Justice Speakers Series, the Office of the Provost, the Office of Student Life, the Student Government Association, the Lehman chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, City and Humanities and the Department of Journalism and Media Studies. 

The Lehman Percussion Ensemble, under the direction of Professor Victor Rendón, will perform pieces by Professor Rendón and Steve Reich, as well as Latin percussion works including the Cuban rumba-guaguancó, bembé, batá, among other styles.

A wide range of folkloric and modern instruments will be featured, including congas/tumbadoras, timbales, drumset, bongó, clave, maracas, shekere, güiro, and various other percussion instruments.
