In celebration of Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day, join us for a presentation by Dr. Linda Rae Murray, an activist and national leader in community health and social justice in healthcare.
Her talk, "When White America Gets Pneumonia: COVID19 and Structural Racism," will examine the historical experience of American medicine with the concept of race, demonstrating how structural racism has resulted in significant gaps in mortality based on race and ethnicity. She will further examine the role structural racism has played in the differential impact of COVID-19 on people of color.

| 3:30 PM - 5:00 PM | Yours for Justice: The Continued Relevance Of Ida B. Wells' Diagnosis Of Domestic Racial Terror
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

| 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM | Rumpelstiltskin '19
The Lehman College Department of Music, Multimedia, Theatre, and Dance will present Rumpelstiltskin ’19, a spin on the old Brother’s Grimm classic of an imp-like creature, who has the power to spin straw into gold. In the original story, Rumpelstiltskin plays the part of good and evil—in the beginning he helps a young girl win her freedom from a greedy king, but then later on insists the young girl give up her first-born to repay a debt owed.
This new production will feature original music by Dr. Penny Prince of the Lehman College Music Department, with a script collaboratively written by the cast.
Prince is an award-winning composer whose previous musical productions include Sleeping Beauty, Dither Farm, and When I Get Where I’m Going. In her work, she often takes classic children’s stories and refreshes them with contemporary issues for children and adults.
