Munger Fellows Events 2019-2020 View Other Sessions

Here at Munger Graduate Residences, we recognize it is important for graduate and professional students to learn and grow outside of their academic disciplines.  This is why we developed the Munger Graduate Program.  Throughout the year, graduate and professional students living both in Munger and outside of Munger have the opportunity to take part in events focused on building community and developing transdisciplinary skills essential for success in 21st-century careers.

Description

In a presentation entitled "Slavery didn't end: Facing the truth in the age of MAGA," Rochelle Riley, author and former award winning columnist at the Detroit Free Press will discuss her book The Burden: African Americans and the Enduring Impact of Slavery and how slavery "just changed addresses, moving from plantations into boardrooms, courtrooms, classrooms, newsrooms, hospitals, neighborhoods and cultural institutions."

Now Director of Arts and Culture for the City of Detroit, she is a member of the Michigan and North Carolina journalism Halls of Fame and the International Women's Forum. In addition to this critically acclaimed book, she is the author of the upcoming That They Lived: Twenty African Americans Who Changed The World.
