The Civil Rights Movement: Revolutionary Anger And The Struggle For Human Equ...Daniel Drache
The US Civil Rights struggles have produced some of the most searing images in the 20th century’s struggle for human dignity and racial equality. These images were extremely powerful in their day, and they still hold power today, serving as a testament to our ability to affect change, and a reminder of our responsibility to protect human rights always and everywhere.

UMSI Exposition: 1960's Civil Rights Research GuideJackie Wolf
This was a collaborative project to design a research guide for undergraduate students researching the 1960's Civil Rights Movement.
The guide itself lives here: http://sferrari.org/si647rg/websites/
But this is a poster that I developed to showcase our work for an exposition showcasing projects by students at the University of Michigan's School of Information. In a field of apps and wearable prototypes I wanted to demonstrate that library science is still doing good work and utilizes many of the same principles of UX work.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Illustrating Freedom: 'Martin Luther King and the Montgomery Story' as a Rhetorical Parallel to Civil Rights Movement Culture
1. Illustrating Freedom:
Martin Luther King and the Montgomery
Story as a Rhetorical Parallel to U.S.
Civil Rights Movement Culture

2. Martin Luther King and the
Montgomery Story comic is a
visual rhetorical argument
advocating for the use of
nonviolent resistance to
end segregation, inequality,
and Jim Crow laws in the
United States.
The comic became a tool
that gained power and
credibility by linking itself
to established Civil Rights
movement culture through
its use of black Christian
church imagery and
themes.
3. Martin Luther
King and the
Montgomery Story
Comic book format
Recounts the story of the
Montgomery bus boycotts in
1955-1956
Published by the Fellowship
of Reconciliation in 1958
4. Fellowship of Reconciliation
Founded in 1911, close to the beginning of World War I
Interfaith organization that promotes active nonviolence
Wanted to find a way to build on the successes of the
Montgomery bus boycotts and show the effectiveness of
nonviolent resistance
5. Historical context
FOR chose to create a comic book
Format was popular during that time period
Came out shortly after the development of the Comics
Code Authority, the comics industry’s response to
public pressure to reduce the amount of violent and
sexual content in comics
Martin Luther King and the Montgomery Story comic was
independently published, and did not bear the CCA
seal
Not bearing the seal meant that most mainstream retail
outlets would not carry the comic
FOR believed that comics were an ideal medium for
reaching “semi-literate audiences”
6. Martin Luther King worked
with the FOR in writing the
script for the comic
The comic sold more than
250,000 copies
Influenced future civil rights
leaders to take action
John Lewis was so inspired
by the comic, he produced a
memoir in graphic novel
format called March
The Greensboro Four
staged their 1960
Woolworth’s sit-in after
reading the comic
7. Inspired activists
internationally
Distributed in South Africa
during Apartheid
Translated into Spanish,
Arabic, and Farsi
In 2006, smuggled into
Egypt
Read by young
Egyptians protestors
during the Arab Spring
revolution
8. Structure
Divided into three sections
First section tells “The Montgomery Story” and introduces Martin
Luther King with brief, one-page bio
In second section, MLK describes how Ghandi helped India win
independence from Britain by using nonviolent tactics
Final section explains the principles behind nonviolence and gives
step-by-step instructions on its use for affecting social change
9. The Comic as a Movement Tool
“Instant historicizing”
Told the story of a recent victory
Allowed current/younger generation to “claim its specific
place in the long tradition of black struggle.” — T.V. Reed,
The Art of Protest (2005, pg. 15)
Organizing/Mobilizing
Easy to pass around
Appealed to college students, thus engaging the black college
network
Education
Taught basic elements of nonviolent action
Showed how nonviolent tactics had worked in the recent past
10. Identification
Black church culture transformed into movement
culture
In both white and black communities, church
involvement “sanctified the movement [and] made it
more legitimate and less frightening in the eyes of many
people.”
Church provided essential infrastructure:
Meeting places
Money-raising network
Recruitment
(Reed, 11-12)
11. Theoretical framework
Stephen Toulmin’s model of argumentation (first triad)
Breaks the rhetorical argument into three parts or
functions:
Claim: the proposition or thesis statement
Grounds (data): the evidence that supports that claim
Warrants: the logical link connecting the claim and the
grounds
12. The Comic’s Claim
The comic will encourage more instances of nonviolent
protest and resistance and increase participation in the
Civil Rights movement
13. Evidence Supporting the
Comic’s Claim
Repeated visual references
to Christian love and
God, as well as to the
black church’s integration
with movement culture

17. The Comic’s Warrant
Martin Luther King and the Montgomery Story is a
legitimate piece of Civil Rights movement culture, and
thus a legitimate tool for the movement
