The Be The Change Tour: October 14th in the PAC

The Peace Studies Faculty Learning Community invites you to join them for the Be the Change Tour, Thursday, Oct. 14 (tomorrow), at 7:00-8:30 pm at the Performing Arts Center (a special thanks to the PAC!).  This event is free of charge and open to the public.  Details below...please share widely!  For more information, please contact Tim Franzen of the American Friends Service Committee:  tfranzen@afsc.org or Dr. Rosemarie Stallworth-Clark, FLC Facilitator:  rosemari@georgiasouthern.edu. 

The Be the Change tour is a State-Wide Spoken Word Tour sponsored by the American Friends Service Committee and Georgia Peace and Justice Coalition.  The Tour features a Live Spoken-Word Performance and talk back session that is provided by Art as an Agent for Change, Inc.  The tour is framed around Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1967 speech “Beyond Vietnam — A Time to Break Silence."

The performance is divided into four segments. Three of which highlight King’s statement, “Our only hope lies today in our ability to recapture the revolutionary spirit and go out into a hostile world declaring eternal hostility to poverty, racism, and militarism.”      

After the performances we will host a brief talk back session designed to explore the intersections between social justice struggles in your community and examine was to unite struggles.
