Dear Scholars,

I have recently become active in a social justice group at the First United Methodist Church; our group learned about a refugee family from Sudan. Philip, who is in the 6th grade, is falling behind in reading and math and is in need of (free) tutoring. The family would like to have 1-2 volunteers per week to assist. Would any of you be able to volunteer and help Philip or can you recommend FREE tutoring services?

If you are interested in tutoring or know of free tutoring services, please send me an email at miatteno@indiana.edu

Thanks for your support.

Best wishes,
Mimi

The descendents of Cherokee black slaves

February 13, 2009

The Descendents of the Cherokee Freedmen: Victims of Sovereignty?"

12pm at the Eigenmann 6th Fl Room 621

Talk by Delphine Criscenzo (African American and African Diaspora Studies)

"The descendents of Cherokee black slaves have been faced with several
actions on the part of the Cherokee Nation to revoke their citizenship.
These efforts climaxed in March 2007 and have given birth to an important
wave of resistance. The Cherokee Nation says that their sovereignty as an
Indian Nation gives them the right to decide who gets to be Cherokee. On the
side of the descendents of the Cherokee Freedmen, they did not choose to be
involved with the Cherokee Nation, nor did their ancestors. Is history still
relevant or are the descendents of the Freedmen the victims of an Indian
struggle to maintain their sovereignty?"

Black History Month

As Black History Month begins, it is essential that we remember the man who
made this month possible, Carter G. Woodson. As a historian, Woodson always
had a deep connection to the study of history--especially Black history. He
strongly believed that in order for African Americans to be successful in
their future, they needed to know that it was also their contributions that
helped to build this nation. Therefore, in 1915, he became a member of what
is now known as the Association for the Study of African-American Life and
History, and in 1926 he began Black History Week. The week was intended for
the observation of the birthday of Frederick Douglass and to honor the great
contributions of African Americans to the United States. The week was so
well received that it was eventually extended to a month.



Celebrate Black History Month at the Kick-off Fair on Thursday, February 5,
2009 at 5:30pm at Showers City Hall, 401 N. Morton St. The fair will include
activities for visitors of all ages, including a presentation celebrating
the 50th Anniversary of Motown Records by Dr. Charles Sykes, Director of the
African American Arts Institute at Indiana University; a presentation by the
Monroe County History Museum for children; storytelling by local actor I.
James Torry; historical information sessions about role of black
fraternities and sororities; and discussions about scholarship opportunities
and college preparation. The fair is open to the entire community and free
of charge. Refreshments will be served.
