SUMMARY:East Meets West Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Film Screening: American Revolutionary: The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs (2013)\nA film on the life of Chinese American civil rights activist Grace Lee Boggs.\nDirector Grace Lee; producers Grace Lee\, Caroline Libresco\, and Austin Wilkin.\n82 Minutes. Transcript available. \nWhat does it mean to be an American revolutionary today? Grace Lee Boggs\, a Chinese American woman in Detroit\, who died in October 2015 at 100 years old\, has a surprising vision of revolution. A writer\, activist\, and philosopher rooted for more than seventy years in the African American movement\, she devoted her life to an evolving revolution that encompassed the contradictions of America’s past and its potentially radical future. This Peabody Award–winning documentary plunges us into Boggs’s lifelong practice of igniting community dialogue and action\, work that traverses the major US social movements of the last century: from labor to civil rights\, to Black Power\, feminism\, the Asian American and environmental justice movements\, and beyond. \nAngela Davis\, Bill Moyers\, Bill Ayers\, Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis\, Danny Glover\, Boggs’s husband James Boggs\, and a host of Detroit comrades across three generations help shape this uniquely American story. As she wrestles with a Detroit in ongoing transition\, contradictions of violence and non-violence\, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.\, the 1967 rebellions\, and nonlinear notions of time and history\, Boggs emerges with an approach that is radical in its simplicity and clarity: revolution is not an act of aggression or merely a protest. Revolution\, Boggs says\, is about something deeper within the human experience—the ability to transform oneself in order to transform the world. More than ten years in the making\, this inter-disciplinary film has a wide appeal to college students. \n\nPart of East Meets West — Asia Program Lecture Series\nOur fall lecture series will feature seven public lectures and one documentary exploring the theme of “Resilience” from multiple regional and disciplinary perspectives. All events are free and open to the public. Except as noted\, presentations will be held from 4:30–6:00 p.m. on Tuesdays in Todd Hall 276. \n\nSept. 5: Film: American Revolutionary: The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs (2013) on the life of Chinese American civil rights activist Grace Lee Boggs.

In a world of 21st-century threats that pay no heed to borders\, Ambassador Rice helped rebuild an effective basis for international cooperation that strengthened the United States’ ability to achieve its foreign policy objectives and made the American people safer. \nAmbassador Rice served as US assistant secretary of state for African affairs from 1997 to 2001. In that role\, she formulated and implemented US policy towards 48 countries in sub-Saharan Africa and oversaw the management of 43 U.S. embassies and more than 5\,000 US and local employees.
