- Description:
- Thomas M. Grace, survivor of the shootings at Kent State University and author of "Kent State: Death and Dissent in the Long Sixties", delivers a presentation entitled, "Life and Death at Kent State: 1960s Student Dissent as a Working Class Movement." Grace discusses the history of the shootings at Kent State University and explains the social movement that arose at the university during the late 1960's and early 1970's. He talks about the protests in opposition to the Vietnam War that occurred at Kent State in 1970, the shots fired by Ohio National Guard troops and the economic climate in the U.S. which he says helped to fuel an "anti-war mentality" among college students during that time. Grace answers questions from the audience. He is introduced by Thomas Dietz, professor of Sociology and Environmental Science and Policy at Michigan State University. Part of the "Our Daily Work/Our Daily Lives" Brown Bag series sponsored by the MSU Department of Sociology, the MSU School of Human Resources and Labor Relations and the MSU Museum.

- Description:
- Dr. William Derman, Michigan State University Professor of Anthropology, talks about his career-long effort to combine intellectual engagement with political activism and social change. Derman is interviewed by Dr. David Wiley, Director of the MSU African Studies Center and Peter Limb, MSU Libraries Area Studies Librarian. Derman recalls his time at the University of Michigan, joining Students for a Democratic Society, teaching African American students in Detroit, his anti-war efforts, and his work as an anti-Apartheid activist. He also talks about his work in South Africa with land use planning, water rights, and education and later shifting his focus to Zimbabwe to assist development and resettlement projects. Derman questions the ability of younger faculty and students to be engaged both as academics and citizens. He sees a low level of activism in the current faculty and student body and is not sure how the community will respond to current and future challenges. Part of the African Studies Interview Series sponsored by the MSU Libraries and the African Studies Center.
